Penly Takes Out the Chainsaw

[user66118]

Hold'em -

Allen Kessler has just been eliminated from the tournament. He held {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

{10-Clubs}

, and was all in and at risk against the {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

of David Penly.

The flop was almost as bad as it gets for Kessler. It came {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{A-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

, giving Penly a pair of kings and a flush draw to boot. The turn and river failed to improve Kessler; they came down {6-Hearts}

{6-Hearts}

and

{9-Hearts}

respectively, sending the "Chainsaw" over to the cashout clerk a little earlier than he would have hoped.
