5/5 in the 10k stud


Serious props for digging up a 15 year old thread.

5/5 in the 10k stud

2026 World Series of Poker
Event #23: $10,000 Seven Card Stud Championship
Day: 3
Event Info
Players Left 5 /130
They Call Him "Chainsaw"
"Why do they call you Chainsaw?" James Cheung inquired.
"Because I cut down the competition," Kessler replied. "It was a joke."


Of course, no stream. Cheung going for his second 7-stud bracelet at the 2026 WSOP. I'd love to hear an Asian guy speaking with a British accent , if he does at all. Brewer busted so four on dinner break at the moment.

Might I add, Kihara just took down the 10K 2-7 draw for a bracelet a few days ago. He and Cheung about even in chips.


Chainsaw 4/4

Cutting down the competition

Always a Bridesmaid, never a Bride.

3rd place for $139K, not too shabby.


Could not fold his way to victory :(


I wonder what Allen makes per year - my guess is somewhere around 50k - his largest score is 276k and only 7 6 figure scores over his whole career. My guess is he grinds out a bare minimum standard of living but 50k when you're living alone isn't too bad.

Chainsaw loses money every year he plays poker.
I would guess he's down a milly for his lifetime, maybe more.
