Kessler Can't Get There
Level 2
: 300/600, 0 ante
After a player in early position limped and Justin Thurlow limped behind in the hijack, Allen Kessler raised in the big blind and was called by both opponents.
Each player drew two and action was checked to Thurlow, who bet and was called in both spots.
The second draw saw Kessler still needing two, while each opponent took just one.
Action was again checked to Thurlow, who bet again, still receiving two calls.
Kessler drew one, as did the early position player, and Thurlow patted his hand.
The betting was checked down and Thurlow showed 
for a winner, as Kessler turned over 
and a final draw , denying him the victory in the hand.
