Chainsaw's Cord Cut

Allen Kessler gunning for nine and ten!
Allen Kessler gunning for nine and ten!

Allen Kessler has unfortunately seen his run in Event #49 come to an end.

We are unsure of the details of his elimination, but what makes it so blog worthy is the fact that it is Kessler's eight cash for the series.

Only two more until he equals the record of ten set by Nikolay Evdakov in 2008.

De Meulder Dusted

Team PokerStars Pro Belgium member Christophe De Meulder has just hit the rail.

Playing a pot preflop worth in excess of 70,000, De Meulder found himself all in holding {8-}{8-} against an opponent's {A-}{10-}.

Unfortunately for De Meulder, he would see his pair run down, and consequently find himself heading to the payout booth to collect his $3,089 in prizemoney.

Smile for Kyle, Not Frown for Brown

The action folded around to Kyle Brown who open-shoved from the cut-off with {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} for about 25,000. An even shorter stack picked up {K-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} and decided to take a shot from the big blind. However, it would be his last move, as the board bricked out with a {5-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{A-Spades}{9-Diamonds} to send him home and give Brown a new and improved stack of 40,000.

Lind Legged

George Lind ain't smiling no more!
George Lind ain't smiling no more!

With the action folding round to George Lind in the small blind, he moved all in for his last 19,500 and was called by Karl Fenton from the big.

Lind: {Q-Spades}{4-Clubs}
Fenton: {K-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}

The board ran out a rather undramatic {3-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{9-Spades} to see Lind hit the rail and Fenton move up to 62,000 in chips.
