Will Allen "Chainsaw" Kessler Win His First Real WSOP Gold Bracelet?
Allen "Chainsaw" Kessler has been MIA from the 2020 World Series of Poker Online series up to this point, but today he's finally joined the masses to take his shot at a gold bracelet. Kessler, a three-time gold ring winner, has come close to winning bracelets in the past with four runner-up finishes in the past.
The first came when he finished second to Todd Brunson in the 2005 WSOP Event #21: $2,500 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better for $132,110, and then again at the 2011 WSOP he finished second to Frank Kassela in Event #15: $10,000 Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship for $276,485.
The following year, Kessler fell to Brian Rast in heads-up play in the 2011 WSOP Event #15: $1,500 Pot-Limit Hold’em for $140,309. More recently, Kessler sought out a WSOP Europe bracelet but once again had to settle for second in the 2017 WSOPE Event #6: €2,200 Pot-Limit Omaha for €57,897.
All told, Kessler has 177 WSOP-related cashes totaling $1,981,352 dating back to 2001, but thus far a gold bracelet has escaped him for nearly two decades. That could call change tonight!
