Allen Kessler Eliminated in 6th Place ($37,736)

[user66118]

Level 21 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Allie Prescott opened the pot with a standard raise under the gun, and Allen Kessler three-bet shoved all in for 149,000. Prescott spent a minute making sure, but he eventually made the call to put Kessler at risk. It was another coin flip.

Showdown
Prescott: {10-Clubs} {10-Spades}
Kessler: {A-Diamonds} {K-Hearts}

The {3-Diamonds} {K-Spades} {J-Hearts} flop was just what Kessler was looking for, pairing up to take a big lead. "Kessler just needs to fade the two remaining tens," Steve Frezer announced over the mic. It proved to be the kiss of death for Kessler.

The turn {7-Clubs} kept him in front for the time being, but the river was rather unkind to "Chainsaw". The {10-Hearts} ripped off the deck, locking up the pot and the knockout for Prescott. Kessler's day is done in 6th place, good for $37,736.
