Team Chainsaw Gets First Blood

Level 1 : 25/50, 0 ante

Allen "Chainsaw" Kessler has handed a more-than-double-starting stack over to fellow teammate Lena Evans and reported about what happened early on.

Kessler flopped a gutshot with {Q-}{9-} on a {10-}{8-}{6-} board and check-called a bet by the younger brother of Thayer Rasmussen. On the {J-} turn, Kessler check-called another bet of 500, then check-shoved the {7-} river with the nut straight.

Rasmussen called with {K-}{9-} for the worse straight and became one of the first casualties of the day.
