There was about 15,000 in the pot on the turn with the board reading JsTs2d9d, Allen Kessler checked from middle position and his opponent went all in from late position.

Kessler tanked for a minute before calling and was all in for about 12,000.

Kessler’s opponent tabled QsQc and Kessler showed QhQd to chop the pot with his opponent. The river is the meaningless As and both players pull their bets back.

“You should’ve waited until the river to move all in,” said another player at the table. “Then Allen would’ve folded.”
