The man in the Larry David of poker. The 2010 WSOP was his Seinfeld.

Finally, we have Allen 'Chainsaw' Kessler who, I kid you not, was discussing 'structures' with tournament director Jack Effel as I passed. "I really liked the structure you had in Iowa," he declared, giving it the Kessler seal of approval.



LOL chainsaw

i love chainsaw threads

can't wait to hear Chainsaw bitch about the exchange rate after his min-cash...

lol

the man the myth the legend

Jack Effel posts on 2p2, confirmed.

Structure of Currency Markets pathetic. Complaints forwarded to Bank of England, Bernanke, Soros, China.

Funny Enough for me to +1 while driving on I-15 back to LA

Carving Up the Competition
Posted 32 minutes ago by FerricRamsium


Phil Laak and Allen Kessler yesterday
Everyone's in the money now, including everyone's favorite weapon of mass destruction, Allen "Chainsaw" Kessler. Kessler had been tied with Shawn Buchanan at the top of the 2010 WSOP cash list, each man with 8 apiece coming into today. This 9th cash puts Kessler in the lead, and he's just one away from tying Nikolay Evdakov's 2008 record-setting ten cashes.

We'll go out on a limb and guess that the Chainsaw won't be entering the £10,000 Heads-Up event tomorrow, so the Main Event will likely be his final shot to tie Evdakov's record.

He should enter both just for a shot at beating the record.

Chainsaw Cooled Down
Posted 2010-09-20 15:41 GMT by FerricRamsium

We missed the action as it happened, but we noticed Allen Kessler suddenly with 2,900 chips left. He saw us peeking and told us that he ran his pocket queens into the pocket kings of Ray Chan. The money got in on a ten-high flop, and Kessler couldn't find anything useful on the turn or river. He's left with just those 2,900 chips.

Wow... Very active! Pokernews star!


Chainsaw Revs Back Up
Posted 7 minutes ago by donpeters

Allen Kessler just ran pocket queens into kings to get knocked down and was forced to put half of his stack in for the big blind. Action folded to Kristian Wiermyhr on the button and he moved all in. Kessler looked at just the Ks and said, "I'm not folding," before sticking in the rest of his money. When he looked at his other card, it was the Ac and put him in dominating shape to double up against the Kd 5S for Wiermyhr.

The board ran out 8s7h2d8dTd and Kessler was able to get back to 8,000 in chips

Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda for Kessler

Earlier on, Allen Kessler folded pocket tens preflop when two other opponents were all in. Kessler would have had the best hand, and it would have held to triple him up to a very healthy stack at the time.

Just a moment ago, Kessler once again made a logical but ultimately losing fold. Wesley Pantling and Kristian Wiermyhr went to war preflop, and Kessler decided to duck out of the way with his pocket fours. Wiermyhr ended up all in with AdKs against Pantling's 2c2d , and Kessler was a bit peeved.

And he certainly didn't appreciate the flop. It came 8h9h4d , and the Chainsaw nearly fell backwards out of his chair. To make matters worse, the case 4s landed on the river, and Kessler could only announce the, "Jeez, four fours," that he would have made. Pantling's deuces held up though, and he's eliminated Wiermyhr.

^ sick boards

may the 4s be with you mr chainsaw, sir.

Over... For now! There´s at least the Main Event...

Kessler Eliminated
Posted 15 minutes ago by donpeters

Allen Kessler has finally been eliminated, but it wasn't until after he hit the money and set took the lead for most WSOP cashes this year.

Kessler told us he shoved in with pocket deuces and was called by . He dodged the flop, but an ace on the turn landed to send Kessler to the rail.

9th cash in the books. not worried about the exchange rate as they let you buy back funds at any time if you deposit first.

Congratulations! You can post here your comments on WSOPE, please?

very professionally run event,excellent dealers and staff considering they run very few tournaments, structure was great they had every level from 25 25 on, and 1 hour levels.

Food reasonably priced, only problem I had was that they ran the tourney a bit after the underground subway closed.
