Kessler Hits the Rail

Niveau 11

Allen Kessler:

Allen Kessler was heard going all in across the room. He shared the cards of his final hand after the fact.

He couldn't hit his low, and his two pair wasn't quite enough as his opponent drilled a better hand on seventh.

Kessler span up his short stack early in the day, but couldn't keep the momentum going thanks to an unfortunate seventh street for his opponent.

Negreanu Devours "Popcorn" and Moncek

Niveau 11

Daniel Negreanu: //
Eric Wasserson: //
Michael Moncek: //

Picking action up three-handed on fourth street, Daniel Negreanu made open aces and bet out into Eric Wasserson (who you may know as "Popcorn" from earlier years of Negreanu's vlog), and Michael Moncek.

Both oppoenents called, then Negreanu fired again on fifth street, still getting two callers.

On sixth street, "Kid Poker" made open trip aces and continued betting. Wasserson went into the tank, then opted on a call. Moncek also called to see seventh street.

Negreanu didn't slow down, firing a final time. This time however he was met with folds by both opponents as he collected a healthy pot.

Wasserson asked after the hand, "you have quads?"

"There was an ace right here," replied Negreanu, referring to a mucked ace by Craig Chait on third street.

"I was hoping for a misdeal," quipped Wasserson as he watched Negreanu stack his newly won chips.
