The Chainsaw Gets Buzzed

Level 8 : 200/400, 50 ante

Allen "Chainsaw" Kessler got his last 2,600 in preflop with {9-Hearts}{9-Spades} against his opponents {j-Spades}{J-Hearts}. The two players swapped outs when the flop fell {10-Hearts}{8-Spades}{q-Hearts}. The {9-Diamonds} turn card was bitter sweet for Kessler, who made his set but was now up against a straight. He needed the board to pair the river to survive but it was no use. The river was the {6-Diamonds} and it ended Kesslers day.
