Level 2: 50/100

We generally don’t see anyone getting too frisky early in these big events but a former Seminole Hard Rock Poker champ didn’t waste anytime.

Jeff Kessler is back with us this series and took his seat as a late registrant. He went big on his first hand after mixing it up with AsKc against an aggressive opponent. The chips went in the middle after the 7s6h2s flop and Kessler was looking good for the insta-double against AhQd.

The 5h turn was harmless but the Qc river was unkind. He was left with a short stack but still grinding away. Kessler has two titles to his name including the Seminole Hard Rock “Rock ‘N’ Roll Poker Open” Seniors title in 2013.
