Even "The Chainsaw" Makes Mistakes
Level 16
: 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Allen "The Chainsaw" Kessler jammed for 35,500 from the cutoff, and Johnathan Theisen three-bet shoved for 39,500 in the small blind, chasing out Rodney Hobbs in the big blind.
Allen Kessler:
Johnathan Theisen:
"I'm in bad shape," Kessler correctly noted.
The flop gave both players open-enders, and while the
turn bricked off, the
hit the river.
"Chop it!" Kessler said.
The table pointed out to Kessler that he had actually made a higher straight, and Kessler apologized to Theisen, who was left with just a single big blind.
