Andy Frankenberger is seated just one table away from Allen Kessler. Kessler just made his way into the Brasilia Room and told Frankenberger about his recent video poker score.

Kessler advised that he was playing Double Double Bonus on a certain day where the points are multiplied. Then he was dealt quad sixes and won a couple tournament buy ins.

"Don't print how much I won. You can take a photo of my t shirt though," Kessler said.

He's wearing a custom made Chainsaw t shirt from the "Chainsaw Collection." Please contact him should you want to have one of your own.

Tables Breaking Fast

Level 4 : 75/150, 0 ante

The Black Section of the Pavilion Room has been completely broken. The section is now filled with players from the Daily Deepstack tournament.

The first two row of tables have been broken in the White Section and dealers are already setting up to seat Daily Deepstack players.

The Amazon Room is a bit more confusing. The Tan Section is a combination of late reg players and original starting tables. The Orange Section has late reg tables, original tables and now has an event restarting for Day 2 butting up against this tournament's tables.

Strangest Things Overheard Today

Level 4 : 75/150, 0 ante

A collection of some of the strange things overheard while walking through the field.

"I think better after I pee."

"Safe!" - From a dealer to a player that literally dove into his seat in order to not have his hand mucked.

"It smelled like sausage."

"Were you at my starting table in the 2007 Main Event?"

"Can I use your headphones?" (earbuds, not over-the-ear)
