Kessler's a Green Machine

Since 11 am players have been throwing the green chips (25) around like they're pennies, but for a few select table captains they've been grabbing them like grandmother's grab church bulletins.

At table 2 Bryan Kessler (Cherry Hill, NJ) has built his stack to nearly 100k, anchored by 4,500 in greens. "My hobby is to collect the green chips," he says with a smile.

David Arpino (Long Island, NY) has a nice collection at table 6, while at table 7 it's James Geraghty (Villanova, PA) leading the way.

Unfortunately for Kessler and company the greens are gone as players are on a 15 minute color-up break.

Play resumes with Level 9 (5oo/1k/100 ante).
