Collard Ships It In
Level 12
: 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Action folded around to Kevin Kurtz, who was on the button and opened to 7,000. Dwane Collard called in the small blind and Mike Kester defended his big blind, taking three-way action to the streets.
Collard led out for 6,000 on 
and Kester raised to 20,000, nearly one-third of his remaining stack. Kurtz quickly got out of the way thereafter.
"All in," said Collard with action back upon him. Kester thought for about 15 seconds and then let his hand go.
