"PokerNews Curse" Causes Kessler's Exit

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Allen Kessler

The under-the-gun player made it 3,000, picking up calls from Eric Cloutier and Allen Kessler from the next seats over. The cutoff also called and Brian Ivy defended his big blind.

Action checked to Cloutier on the KJ7 flop, and he bet 16,000.

Kessler started mulling over his options while mentioning his PokerNews curse.

"I can't fold this hand," he said as he jammed for 27,500. The cutoff shoved for around the same size. Action folded back to Cloutier, who called.

Cutoff: Q10XxXx All in
Allen Kessler: AJ42 All in
Eric Cloutier: KKQ9

The A turn and J river saw Kessler make a full house, but Cloutier's king-full was superior, and he scored the double knockout.
