Allen Kessler Facing Some Big Stacks

Level 9 : 400/800, 0 ante

Allen Kessler had managed to triple his starting stack, but two of the three players to his right have him covered by far.

Mike Dentale and Gregg Merko have almost run out of room to keep their chips. The are in seat one and two and can't seem to slow down when it comes to gaining chips.

Kessler definitely will have a chance to make some chips thanks to the two bigger stacks. Knowing Dentale, it is unlikely he will stop building a stack. He has cashed for over $200,000 in WSOP events, but has $1.4-million in career tournament earnings.

Merko has over $1-million in live tournament earnings through WSOP and two circuit rings, but has yet to win a WSOP bracelet.

Kessler has three WSOP Circuit rings, 100 WSOP cashes, and almost $1.6-million in WSOP earnings, but he too is still seeking his first WSOP bracelet.
