Chainsaw Carving 'em Up

Stud 8/b

Johnson: (X) (X) / {5-Diamonds} {j-Diamonds} FOLD
Rapp: (X) (X) / {k-Spades} {q-Spades} {8-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} / (X)
Aldridge: (X) (X) / {2-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {a-Hearts} {k-Diamonds} / (X)
Kessler: (X) (X) / {4-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {3-Spades} {8-Hearts} / (X)

Allen Kessler got half of a three-way all in on Orange 322, a result he was likely happy with, given that he could have lost it all. Kenneth Aldridge brought it in on third street. Kessler then completed, with Linda Johnson and Stefan Rapp both calling to fourth street.

Rapp had the lead on fourth street. He checked, allowing Aldridge to take the initiative with a bet. Kessler called, Johnson folded, and then Rapp check-raised. Aldridge and Kessler both called.

On fifth street Rapp and Aldridge took turns raising until Aldrige was all in, with Kessler calling the whole way. Rapp was also all in on sixth street. At showdown, Kessler table {a-Clubs} {5-Hearts} {8-Spades} for a pair of eights and an eight-five low; Rapp showed {q-Diamonds} {q-Clubs} and a blank for three queens; and Aldridge tabled {7-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} and {k-Clubs} for a diamond flush. Kessler got half of the side pot and half of the main pot; Aldridge got half of the main pot; and Rapp was left with just 200 chips.

Chainsaw is up to 50,000.
