Brandon Bloom

Level 6 : 400/800, 800 ante

Lou Garza opened to 1,800 from the cutoff and action folded to Allen "Chainsaw" Kessler who put in the rest of his 7,800 chips. Garza called and hands were revealed.

Allen Kessler:
Lou Garza:

Kessler was ahead yet still cautious and said, "Another seventy-percenter."

The flop came , and the turn put him behind before the river sent him to the rail. Kessler said he had lost three hands in the tournament where he was roughly a 70% favorite, including ace-king versus ace-ten, and as a result, he will not be moving on to the next round.
