Allen Kessler Eliminated by Ed Jatho

'Chainsaw' Massacre'd
'Chainsaw' Massacre'd
Tournament pro Allen 'Chainsaw' Kessler has just been eliminated from the tournament by Ed Jatho of Abita Springs, LA.

According to Kessler, he open-shoved from early position holding {A-Spades}{K-Clubs} and Jatho made the call with 'the Doyle Brunson,' ({10-Hearts}{2-Hearts}), leaving himself with just ~8,500 behind. The board ultimately ran out 5-7-8-2-2 giving Jatho trip deuces to knock Kessler out of the tournament.

On his way out the door, Kessler engaged Jatho in a bit of a verbal tussle, which prompted Jatho to fire back, "I'll see you at the final table; you'll be watching from the rail."
