The aftermath of the seismic win was videoed by \u201cChainsaw\u201d himself and posted to social media Tuesday.<\/p>\n

It occurred after a 12-hour session on Aristocrat Leisure\u2019s Buffalo Power Pay slot. Kessler, who was in town to play the RunGood Series poker event, was betting $125 per spin during the session and was down $12,500 when the stars aligned.<\/p>\n

Three-time WSOP Circuit Ring-winner Kessler is an eccentric figure in the poker community, much loved for his endearing and fastidious obsession with the proper rules of the game and for railing against occasional statistical injustices inflicted by the poker gods.’<\/p>\n
