After fighting through a field of 57 in Event 15: Stud 8/ Omaha 8, Allen Kessler won his fourth WSOP Circuit Ring and his first in a mixed game event.
"That was tough, I was down to one big bet," Kessler said after the win. Generally, Stud is Kessler's game so it's fitting that he now has a Ring in a Stud event.
Kessler defeated three-time Ring Winner Wendy Freedman, denying her the opportunity to win a fourth. "You win, Allen," she said after putting in the last of her chips in a Stud 8 hand.
"Unbelievable. Number four," Kessler proclaimed.
When it came time for the winner's photo Allen was joined by 14-time Ring Winner Daniel Lowery, 7-time Ring Winner La Sengphet, Jeff Lennon, and others who are here playing the main event.
"I think I'll skip the Main Event now, go right to Tulsa tomorrow," Kessler decided on-the-spot as he was leaving the tournament area.
See you in Tulsa!
A winner's photo and full results will be available soon.
