From early position, Allen Kessler raised to 1,150. A few seats over, Alexander Kravchenko three-bet it to 3,150, and Kessler called to see a flop.
It came 
, and Kessler knocked the table. When Kravchenko bet 3,500, Kessler moved all in for just less than 20,000, and Kravchenko called to put him at risk. Kessler, "The Chainsaw", as he's better known, was well ahead:
Kravchenko: 
Kessler: 
Kravchenko was was looking for one of his two-out aces to notch the knockout, and that's exactly what he found. A third ace peeled right off on the turn, and Kessler could not find the last ten in the deck.
Allen Kessler had the most cashes of anyone this year at the WSOP (with a very impressive nine), and he even managed to get heads up in the $10,000 Stud Hi/Lo event for a bracelet. He couldn't snag one there, though, and he won't be winning this Main Event bracelet either. He's out, essentially doubling up Kravchenko in the process.
