Kessler Done In By Karahalios

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Allen Kessler

We haven't heard much from Allen Kessler all day long. It seemed he was patiently grinding, which was reflected in his chip count, which dipped down to 20,000.

That is when he opted to jam after Tony Karahalios' limped. Action folded back to Karahalios, and he opted to make the call with {a-}{5-}, which was out in front of Kessler's {k-}{q-}.

"I folded ace-five," Norecia Austin admitted.

The {k-}{5-}{j-} flop gave Kessler the lead, but it was only temporary as the dealer burned and turned an {A-}. The river was no help to Kessler, and his Day 1a came to an end.
