Allen Kessler paid off a river bet, but he still has plenty of chips and can't complain (yeah right)

On the last hand before the recent break we saw Allen Kessler paying off a big bet on the river, and a scan of the board showed that his {Q-}{10-} had been bested by Hans Winzeler's {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}.

The board read {8-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{6-Spades} by the river, with Winzeler's straight trumping the Chainsaw's top two, and although we missed the action ourselves, Winzeler was kind enough to run us through the play by play.

According to Winzeler, Nick Schulman opened to 2,500 before the flop and found four flatters, including Kessler in the big blind. On the flop Schulman c-bet and both Winzeler and Kessler came along to see the turn (which completed Winzler's straight draw while giving Kessler top two pair).

On fourth street Kessler checked to Shulman, who did the same, prompting Winzeler to bet 5,000. Only Kessler called that wager and on the river he paid off a 28,000 value bet.
