Kessler Back to Even

Level 4 : 125/250, 0 ante
Allen Kessler
Allen Kessler

"fuyopame" raised on the button and Allen "chainsaw" Kessler defended his big blind bringing the {6-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{q-Diamonds} flop.

A series of raises led to Kessler calling off his 6,712 stack after "fuyopame" fired out 9,000 and the two hands were revealed.

"fuyopame": {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{4-Clubs}
Allen "chainsaw" Kessler: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}{k-Hearts}{6-Clubs}

Kessler was ahead after flopping a set of kings and the {4-Diamonds} turn paired the board, improving his hand to a full house.

The {a-Clubs} river was meaningless as Kessler had already secured his double up.

Wu Collects Full Double

Level 4 : 125/250, 0 ante
Yin Wu
Yin Wu

After an initial raise and two callers, "Alluck" three-bet to 2,500 from the big blind.

Only Yin "wuwu1982" Wu called on the button and the {10-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{6-Spades} flop appeared for the two players.

A series of raises saw "Alluck" three-bet jam for 16,298 and Wu called off his 12,086 stack.

"Alluck": {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{4-Spades}
Yin "wuwu1982" Wu: {a-Clubs}{7-Spades}{5-Hearts}{4-Hearts}

"Alluck" held the nut flush draw and was ahead with their pocket aces.

The {10-Diamonds} turn wasn't a good card for Wu as it paired the board, leaving Wu with just the river.

Wu needed to catch a hail mary and the {8-Hearts} river delivered as it gave Wu a full double up.

Kevin "GoneBananas" Garosshen Looking For a Fruitful WSOP Online Series

Level 5 : 150/300, 0 ante
Kevin Garosshen
Kevin Garosshen

A player that looked poised for a breakout prior to the Covid-19 Pandemic was Kevin "GoneBananas" Garosshen, and even after casinos closed down for an extended period of time, Garosshen spent last year's WSOP Online Series continuing to produce solid results that cemented his status as a player on the rise.

Garosshen's big breakout occurred at one of the last live events before the heart of the pandemic, as he took down the $1,650 HPT St. Louis Main Event for $131,184 after topping a field of 392 entrants. Garosshen then set his sights on the 2020 WSOP Online Series, and went to work immediately, finishing in third-place in Event #3: $1,000 NLH Deepstack 8-Max for $73,424. Garosshen ended up with a total of nine cashes in the 2020 WSOP Online.

So far this year, Garosshen has had a smattering of success on the felt, including two deep runs in side events at the WPT Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown, and a nineteenth-place finish in last month's WPT Tampa Championship. Garosshen will be looking to have another successful summer on the virtual felt, and add a WSOP Gold Bracelet to his HPT Title.

Alfa check-raised to 2,737 after Nguyen continued for 600 and Nguyen called. The {j-Spades} turn saw Alfa led out for 7,124 and then called off his 13,602 stack after Nguyen raised to 14,248.

Dave "Crispr" Alfa: {10-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades}
Chau "S0S0DiZzY" Nguyen: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{5-Spades}

Both players flopped the flush but Alfa's was inferior and the {4-Diamonds} river was no help as Nguyen collected the whole pot while Alfa re-entered the tournament.
