Allen Kessler's Chainsaw Mixed Games Series Comes to Atlantic City

Allen Kessler's Chainsaw Mixed Games Poker Series moves to Atlantic City for the first time next month. The festival includes two championship events.

The CMSOP stop runs from November 4 to 14 at the Borgata, one of the largest poker venues on the East Coast. The series finale will be the $1,100 H.O.R.S.E. Championship with a $25,000 guarantee and the $1,100 T.O.R.S.E. Championship with a $35,000 guarantee.

Alongside the two championship events, the series includes several $600 buy-in tournaments in various formats. The schedule features Omaha, Stud and Triple Draw games, catering to the different preferences of mixed games players.

The series opens on November 4 with a $600 Omaha H/L tournament. Other $600 events on the schedule include T.O.R.S.E., Stud H/L (8 Or Better), T.O.E. and Chainsaw's 8-Game Mix.

The first championship, the H.O.R.S.E. Championship, starts on November 5 and reaches a winner the following day. The $35,000 guaranteed T.O.R.S.E. Championship is later in the series, played on November 12.

The festival ends on November 14 with a $600 Triple-Triple Draw tournament, which combines Ace-5, Deuce-7 and Badugi.

Kessler's mixed games series has previously attracted well-known names such as WSOP Player of the Year Josh Arieh and Jeff Madsen, as well as GPI Mid-Size Player of the Year Nick Pupillo. Earlier this year, Kessler also won one of his own events at the Caesars Palace festival in Las Vegas.

The mixed games festival is part of the Borgata Fall Poker Open series, which has a guaranteed prize pool of more than $4 million. PokerNews will cover the series live with on-site reporting.
