Kessler Eliminates Nash With a Playable Hand
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Robert Nash raised to 8,500 from middle position and Allen Kessler three-bet to 23,500 from the next seat over. The action folded back to Nash, who jammed all in for 75,000 chips, and Kessler made the call.
Robert Nash: A?K?
Allen Kessler: K?K?
Nash would flop a Broadway draw on 7?10?Q?, but the necessary jack remained absent on the 5?Q? runout.
Nash was eliminated while Kessler almost doubled up.
"I only play kings and aces," Kessler commented after the fact.
