Kessler Narrowly Survives
Level 18
: Limits 20,000/40,000, 0 ante
Allen Kessler raised in the cutoff and Philip Sternheimer called in the big blind.
Sternheimer drew two and Kessler one. Kessler then bet and Sternheimer called.
Both players drew one and Sternheimer led out with a bet. Kessler called and took one, while Sternheimer stood pat.
Sternheimer then bet and Kessler called all in. Both players showed 8x6x5x3x2x and chopped the pot.
After the hand, Kessler answered the question "What's bothering you today, Allen?" by complaining about the amount of time Sternheimer has been taking on his decisions.
