A Conversation with Chainsaw
Table 40 is loads of fun right now, and we just walked into the middle of a conversation that brought chuckles all around.
Allen Kessler was talking when we walked up: "I really wish they'd fill these seats, this is ridiculous. You know what happened in New Orleans? So, they advertised it as a nine-handed event, and --"
Amnon Filippi cut him off mid-sentence: "How do you know it they advertised it as nine-handed?"
Kessler: "Because I'm the defending champion."
Filippi: "Whoa! You won something? How many runners?"
Kessler: "Seventy-something."
Filippi: "Wow! Was it stud eight-or-better?"
Kessler just kept right on without missing a beat: "It was advertised as nine-handed, but we get there, and it wasn't nine-handed. There were only eight stacks on the table."
Filippi and Jonathan Little in unison: "A disaster for you!" Everyone at the table chuckles again, as they've been doing over the course of the whole conversation. Kessler continued on for a few more minutes, dodging the wisecracks from his table mates as he dragged two small pots in succession.
