"Of all the tables in the tournament I had to draw this one!" sighed Allen Kessler as he moved into the main tournament area.
It is understandable to feel for Kessler as he is seated alongside Mel Judah, the most established player on the table with 39 WSOP cashes including two bracelets in 7 Card Stud.
Nick Frangos is another and boasts WSOP Circuit victories and over $800,000 in tournament earnings.
Finally, David 'Gunslinger' Bach has cashed nine previous times at the WSOP and has lifetime earnings of over $1,200,000.
With Kessler sitting on just over 7,000, it just may be his chance to mix it up with the best and push his stack skyward.
With betting on every street, Mike Caro has just sent an opponent to the rail while gaining some valuable chips from another when he folded on seventh street.
