Allen Kessler is mostly known for complaining quite often on Twitter. He has a lot of tournament cash to his credit, although he lacks a big win. Actually, to the last one he can tick off, because he hit it, but… in a completely different game.
I don’t think you can say that Allen Kessler is a bad player. He has $4.4 million in cashes, but the biggest is less than $300,000. He has been notching up cashes at the WSOP this year, deep runs some events, but he is usually known for presenting some somewhat controversial opinions or showing some rather bizarre choices in terms of food.
In late July, Kessler won a huge amount of money, but in a casino game! The poker player played a very long session on one of the machines. He bought bonuses for $125 and played like that for 12 hours, reportedly. He lost $12,500 until he hit a huge bonus and a top jackpot of $1,210,103!
All in 20 years or a smaller amount on hand?
As he wrote himself, with this, he no longer had to worry about being in the red at the WSOP. Instead, he had to worry about something else. The jackpot won on the Aristocrat machine has a certain “but.” Kessler could receive the entire sum, but in installments divided over as many as 20 years. The other option was to take the amount of $805,120, but on the spot. He even made a Twitter poll in which the second option, which he was convinced about, won.
What is Allen Kessler doing now? He is currently playing in Chicago at another poker festival. It’s probably hard to find another poker player who travels so much around the US and plays even the smallest events. You can’t accuse him of lacking heart for the game. Now he is unlikely to have to worry about the bankroll.
