Kessler turned a straight on the board to get up to 13,000.

He was then all in after a multi-way pot emerged. Hael Al Labani limped, Grant Warren raised to 15,000 and Kessler was all in for 13,000 in the small blind. Dor Tal called in the big blind, as did Al Labani. The flop was checked to Warren, who bet 12,000 and picked up calls from his two remaining opponents.

They checked the turn and Tal bet the river for 41,000. Both Al Labani and Warren folded and Kessler showed for a missed wrap, which Tal had beat with the for just a pair of queens.
