 |
 |
|
|
| NICKNAME : “AllenKesslerBro”? Catchy, but in the world of poker one nickname rules above the rest: Allen “Chainsaw” Kessler. Don’t let the mild-mannered exterior fool you. Think Bruce Banner and the Incredible Hulk, only multiple it by a trillion. |

|
| PRR TIE-IN : ETB stops in on PokerRoad Radio for a segment titled, “Pot Odds with Eugene Todd.” Though you might expect this to be about numbers and percentages, we emphasize the Pot in “Pot Odds,” as in really, really emphasize (Wink, wink). |

ETB (6) def. ALLEN "CHAINSAW" KESSLER (1):
|
| |
Eugene can win #%$^, bro! Sort of an unexpected landslide; it’s nothing against “Chainsaw” (who easily crushes 99.9% of the population), “EugeneToddBro” is just a freakin’ dynamo. The guy once got so fired up during a radio show he poured water over his head in order to cool off, and he’s been a part of three of the most memorable poker podcasts in history…or at least the last two years. That being said, “Chainsaw” will rise again.
