On a board of 3Q4AJ, the blinds checked, and Schuyler Thornton on the button moved all in for 1,400,000. Bobby James in the small blind quickly folded, but Dechang Zhang in the big blind went deep into the tank.

After several minutes, the clock was called, and Zhang ultimately folded. Thornton proudly revealed J1096 for just a pair of jacks.

Zappulla Takes from Rubin

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

There were roughly 900,000 chips in the pot on a flop of 104J.

Harry Rubin who was under the gun fired out a bet of 580,000, Paul Zappulla in the big blind made the call. Rubin did not slow down on the 4 turn and he fired out a bet of 1,200,000, and Zappulla check-called.

Rubin went for three streets of betting on the 9 river for 3,000,000, and to his surprise Zappulla announced all in, then Rubin made a fairly quick fold.

Hannel Takes From Joyce

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

After Christopher Hannel limped from under the gun, Toby Joyce in early position raised to 700,000. All the other players folded to Hannel, who called.

Both players checked the 9109 flop, leading to the 7 turn, which saw Hannel bet 900,000. Joyce went deep into the tank and called.

The 7 river was checked by both players, so Hannel flipped over KQJ9 for trip nines. Joyce looked at his cards and mucked his hand.

WSOP Hands of the Week: Kessler's Brutal Razz Elimination

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Allen Kessler
Allen Kessler

Poker fans were treated to many exciting hands at the World Series of Poker (WSOP) the past week.

But there's always a player involved in one of these juicy hands who doesn't find it as interesting as the rest of us. Take Allen Kessler, for example, who took a cruel Razz bad beat to bust from the $3,000 Nine Game Mix event, a hand you'll read about in just a bit.

"The Chainsaw" isn't the only recipient of a bad beat or on the wrong end of a brutal cooler the past week at the WSOP.
