John Hennigan raised, and Allen Kessler three-bet to put Johnny World all in. He called, turning up 
to go with his . Kessler showed 
for split aces. Kessler made aces-up on sixth, but Hennigan picked up a fifth heart as his last card to double through the Chainsaw with a flush. Henningan is up to 130,000 while Kessler is stuck with 45,000.
The cards are now in the air. Most of the players have taken their seats, but we do have a couple of tardy players. We'll be starting things off with Stud-8.

Welcome back to the Rio Hotel and Casino for our continued coverage of the 2010 World Series of Poker. It's day three of Event #43: $10,000 H.O.R.S.E. World Championship and once again we've got a stacked field who are ready to return to the felt and battle it out for the title.
It was a dramatic end to the day last night as Cyndy Violette and Tommy Hang both busted on the same hand at around 3:30am, to burst the extended bubble and jump us into the money.
The affects of the 90-minute bubble will be felt here this afternoon. While we were always expecting a long day three in this event, we're now one full level and a couple of eliminations behind schedule before we even start. The bubble was also hugely advantageous to the big stacks as Cuong Do, Marco Johnson and Brian Townsend flexed their muscle, while the likes of Scotty Nguyen, John Hennigan, Abe Mosseri and Al Barbieri should be right in the thick of the action at the start of the day, as they look to double up or die trying.
Play will resume at 3pm and after some early fireworks, play should settle into a groove that takes us into the wee hours of tomorrow morning. So sit back, relax and grab yourself a coffee or two as we look to crown a new WSOP bracelet winner!
