Dahlin Derails "Chainsaw"

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Allen Kessler busted shortly after registration ended.
Allen Kessler busted shortly after registration ended.

Allen "Chainsaw" Kessler opened for a raise on the button and then saw Jason Zarlenga and Ben Marsh shove all in from the blinds. Kessler seemed perturbed by the turn of events and decided to fold {8-}{8-} face up, only to see both players show {a-}{q-}.

The next hand, Kessler got it all in preflop with {10-}{10-} against the {a-Spades}{k-Spades} of Adam Dahlin. The Minnesotan hit a king, leaving Chainsaw busto.

Kirby Doubles

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Matt Kirby
Matt Kirby

Matt Kirby got it all in with {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} for his last 21,000 or so, and a player who initially raised made the call with {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}. The board ran out {j-Hearts}{4-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}, and Kirby snagged a much-needed double up.

Palmer Barrels Twice; Sell Busts

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Derek Palmer
Derek Palmer

Derek Palmer opened to 2,500 and got three callers. He bet 5,000 on the {4-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{7-Spades} flop after the blinds checked. One player folded, and both blinds called. On the {k-Diamonds} turn, the blinds checked again and Palmer bet 15,100. Only Arlie Brandvold, the big blind, came along. Both players checked the {k-Spades} river, and Palmer seemed distressed that he didn't pull the trigger a third time when he was shown {6-}{4-} for a counterfeited two pair, which he couldn't beat.

Former Mid-States Poker Tour champ Jason Sell busted out at a different table.

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

We caught the aftermath of an all in at Table 35, and Rob Wazwaz was the one having his stack counted down for a double. He had {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} in front of him on a board of {9-Spades}{k-Hearts}{2-Spades}{7-Spades}{2-Hearts}, and his neighbor was forced to ship him 19,300.
