Kessler Gets Three Doubles
Limits: 80,000-160,000
2-7 Triple Draw
Action folded to Andrew Kelsall on the button and he raised, before Allen Kessler moved all in for his stack of 90,000.
On the first draw both players drew two. On the second draw Kessler drew one and Kelsall drew two. For the final draw, Kessler drew one and Kelsall drew two again.
Allen Kessler: 8x4x3x2x
Andrew Kelsall: 8x6x5x
When Kelsall drew two his first card was the K♣ and his second was a 4♦, meaning Kessler just needed to avoid an ace or pair. He turned over Qx to double up.
