$1,650 WPO Championship (Re-Entry)
End of Level 14: 1,200/2,400 with a 400 ante
Flight B Players Remaining: 27 of 112

Allen Kessler talked about busting the first two opening flights in the last level on the night and almost had it happen. Evan Teitelbaum opened from the button, Mike Raimon moved all-in from the small blind, and Allen Kessler moved in for less from the big.

Teitelbaum released his pocket fives and the race was on.

Kessler:
Raimon:

Kessler was ahead until Raimon moved out front on the king-high flop. But it didn’t last long, “Chainsaw” hit the friendly turn to leave Raimon drawing dead. He was left with crumbs and was soon on the rail while Kessler bagged up 163,500.

They played only three more hands after and two-time WSOP final tablist Jacobo Fernandez was the end of flight leader holding 260,000. Other players going over 200,000 were Russ Head, Zo Karim, defending champ John Templeton, and Seminole Hard Rock Poker team member Michael Laake.

Full chip counts will be posted when they are available.
