Doyles Room Pros Stand Out at WSOP

June 09, 2010

It was another day, another few thousand dollars for Doyles Room pros and players at the 41st Annual World Series of Poker yesterday. Potential Brunson 10 member David Sands continues to aim for the top of the Become a Legend Leaderboard by climbing equally high in several events at the WSOP and Doyles Room pro Allen Kessler is within reach of another solid finish.

Sands had an impressive showing in Event #16, a No Limit Hold'em Six Handed event, ending the day in 7th place with 117,800 chips. Doyles Room pro Hoyt Corkins sits in 82nd place of the same tournament with 37,300 chips.

Sands has already done well at the 2010 WSOP, winning $49,409 in Event #5 for an 8th place showing. Sands is competing with Daniel Kelly, Faraz Jaka and Michael Martin for the 7th spot on The Brunson 10, Doyle Brunson's team of extraordinary poker players.

The 4 players will compete at this year's World Series of Poker for the top spot on the Brunson 10 Become a Legend Leaderboard. Each player will earn points every time they cash in any WSOP event. The player with the most points at the end of the series will be signed to Doyle Brunson's team of pros.

Also performing extraordinarily well in Event #15, a 7Card Hi/Lo Championship tournament, was Doyles Room pro Allen Kessler, who ended Day 2 in 8th place with 316,000 chips. He resumes play today with a field of 18 remaining, well positioned to finish in the money.

Kessler has already cashed twice at the 2010 World Series of Poker. A 17th place finish in Event #7 earned him $7,663 and two days earlier he won $5,123 for a 39th place finish in Event #4.
