Allen Kessler’s stack dropped beneath 100,000 and he took a double up shot with a good chance to win. He moved all-in for 71,000 and Michael Newman looked him up with TcTd

Kessler was well ahead with KcKh and virtually locked up the hand on the KdJd7c flop. The Ts turn gave Newman a single out to send Kessler to the rail but “Chainsaw” wasn’t sweating the 4c river.

“I’ve never lost a 1000-to-1,” Kessler told his table as he moved up to ~150,000.
