Kessler Loses to Trip Sevens in A Huge Pot

Level 9 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Four players boosted the pot that featured Allen Kessler. With piles of chips already in the middle on sixth street, a player with open eights bet out to the pot, evoking a raise from a player behind him. Third player called all-in for his 1,900 and Allen Kessler also called. The player who led had less than two bets behind, but he still opted for fold.

Seventh street continued with action on the side. Kessler acted first with a pair of jacks on his board while the other active player had sevens face up. Both players check to see each other's cards in the contest for about a 50,000 pot.

Allen Kessler: {X-}{X-} / {8-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
All-in player: {X-}{X-} / {5-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{A-Spades}{6-Diamonds}
Third player: {X-}{X-} / {5-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}
Fourth player: {X-}{X-} / {8-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} (bet-folded on sixth street)

Kessler turned over {A-Spades}{10-Clubs}{8-Spades} for jacks up, beating the all-in player who had {6-}{4-}{4-} for lower two pairs. The third player, however, had a seven in the hole and scooped the giant pot with his {7-Spades}{4-Hearts}{3-Clubs}.

Kessler missed out on crossing 100,000 in chips but is still maneuvering a promising 49,500.
