Wattel Too Tough for the Chainsaw
Allen "Chainsaw" Kessler was happy to be near the top of the counts in the early-going. Since we've come back from dinner, however, a few hands haven't gone Kessler's way.
Kessler, Barry Shulman, Mike Wattel and one other player were in for two bets pre-flop. Shulman checked a flop to Wattel, who bet. Kessler and Shulman both called.
Wattel fired again when the turn paired the board, . It was a bet that only Kessler called. The action was the same on the river. Wattel showed down for a rivered Broadway straight. Kessler looked bck at his cards, muttered something unintelligible, and then mucked.
Wattel now has 20,000. Kessler has about 48,000.
