Who came up with the name Chainsaw for Allen Kessler?
I always assumed it was Gavin Smith on Pokerroad Radio but now Theo Tran and this other guy have also taken credit.
Does anyone recall for sure?
Here is a quote from someone named GambleGambel:
Also... the poker community needs to recognize that it was I who originally nicknamed Allen Kessler the chainsaw over two years ago. It originally came up when moon and I joked how tight he was and how it reminded me of my old handle AKoChainsaw3 on party poker. AK being a beautiful pun for big slick and Allen Kessler.

It is fact that Gambler game up with that nickname. It is a shame that others have tried to steal the credit. When Gambler wins the main event he can go on pokerroad radio and clear this up once and for all.

If that Shannon Shorr comment was found on a blogspot comments' section, it's probably the fake shannon shorr who makes comments on poker blogs.
I trust Gnight Moon here.
Also, Allen, what's up, you bored? Watching GSN and making thread about yourself?

I don't think he was putting me down, but wtf do I know. Definitely feel like I made a few mistakes at that FT, so it's not my favorite TV show ever lol.
let's get back the subject at hand: Who named Allen Chainswaw? Who cares. But probably gamblegambel.

What were you saying about "2 weeks" that helped you make that call when you were talking to someone in the audience?

No, i was complimenting you on the A6 shove. Kevin knew that you knew that he was raising alot of hands and eventually Kevin made a great call as well....

I know what Kevin said there, but I'd rather he didn't explain it. Either keep this thread on topic, or get a mod to lock it. Or just like, go to bed dude.

This is gambel's blog. Why don't u ask him to produce an entry on the subject. I'd be surprised if he doesn't oblige.
