Kessler Destroys Donovan

Zachary Donovan, who won Event #1 here at Foxwoods, was just eliminated from the tournament courtesy of Allen "Chainsaw" Kessler.

It happened when Kessler opened for 2,500 from the hijack and the player in the cutoff called. Donovan then moved all in from the button for 10,700, the blinds folded, and Kessler made a quick call. The cutoff took his time before folding and the cards were turned up.

The flop saw that increase to 79.19%, while the turn left Donovan, who only had a 6.82% chance of surviving, ask for a three to chop. Unfortunately for him, the dealer did not oblige and he was eliminated from the tournament in Level 11.
