Allen Kessler Doubles Up

Level 10: 500-1,000, 100 ante

Allen Kessler is all in from the cutoff for 19,600 with AK, up against QQ in middle position.

The flop comes Q109, and the player with pocket queens cheers after flopping a set. But Kessler picked up a gutshot straight draw, and Karma can be a bitch. (This is called "foreshadowing.")

The turn card is -- the J. Kessler makes his ace-high straight.

The river is the 7, and Kessler wins the pot to double up in chips. As the dealer pushes the pot to him, Kessler says something about the other player getting what he deserved.
