Kessler Gets Three-Quarters in Five-Way Pot
Level 3
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Five people saw a flop of 5♣7♥8♦, which they all checked. The J♥ turn then saw Joshua Thatcher lead out for 2,000 chips from the small blind, which Christopher Gallagher, Allen Kessler, and James Palmer called before Ryan Hughes got out of the way.
On the 10♠ river, the action checked to Kessler, who fired 7,500 chips. This time, only Palmer made the call as the two showed down.
Kessler tabled A♣Q♣9♥8♠2♦ for the nut low and nut straight, while Palmer ended up with a quarter of the pot when he showed A♥K♦9♠3♥2♣ for a naked ace-deuce.
