Rob Kessler Doubles Up
Rob Kessler (right) turns a diamond flush to double up.

A player raised from middle position to 5,500, Rob Kessler moved all in from the hijack for 54,000, and his opponent thought for a while before he called with 8s8c.

Kessler turned over AdKd, and he needed to improve to stay alive.

The board came Qd9d5s7d8h, and Kessler turned a diamond flush to win the pot and double up in chips.

Rob Kessler  –  114,500  (46 bb)
