Chainsaw's Recommendation Box

2-7 Triple Draw/No-Limit Hold'em

During the last hand of a triple-draw round, Allen "Chainsaw" Kessler saw an opportunity to make a suggestion.

"The coins should be out front," he said to a nearby tournament director, referring to the tokens that keep track of how many games are played in a round.

Kessler pointed at the spot just above the rectangle box where you'd find the board. They're normally kept in the well at the WSOP. He went on to say that other venues do it that way and there are hardly ever any mistakes.

"I just sent a picture to Jack [Effel], do you want to see?"

"I believe you, Allen," the tournament director replied earnestly.

"There's never a mistake that way," Kessler claimed.

The tournament director took "the over" on that number and a few others at the table agreed.

Meanwhile, the game changed to no-limit hold'em.

Andrew Kelsall raised to 2,200 from the small blind and Christopher Vitch paused before he made it 7,000. Kelsall responded with a jam and Vitch gave it up. Kelsall showed A♥ and offered to show the other one. Vitch accepted and it was 8♣.
