No More Chopping for Chainsaw

Game over for Kessler
Game over for Kessler
A short-stacked Allen Kessler pushed his last 4,000 into the pot and found some action from an opponent in late position.

Kessler: {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}
Opponent: {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}

"Queen," shouted Kessler - his wish would be granted when the flop fell down {Q-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}.

"I knew it," sparked Kesser again before the {A-Hearts} could land on the turn. When the {9-Diamonds} peeled on the river, Kessler headed to the rail.

"Oh, I even turned a flush-draw," quipped Kessler as he quickly made his way off the tournament floor.
