The Chainsaw Gets Flushed Out

We saw Allen "The Chainsaw" Kessler picking up his phone and making his way out of the tournament area. The players at the table were nice enough to fill us in on Kessler's elimination.

Kessler opened to 500 preflop, John Hayes called from the cutoff and the big blind called as well. The flop fell {K-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} {7-Diamonds}, the big blind checked, Kessler bet 700 and Hayes raised to 1,600. The big blind got out of the way and Kessler raised to 3,200. Hayes four-bet shoved and Kessler called.

Kessler: {10-Diamonds} {10-Spades}
Hayes: {Q-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds}

The turn gave Hayes the flush coming {6-Diamonds} and Kessler needed the board to pair or catch the case ten. He bricked when the river came {A-Hearts} and Kessler was eliminated.
