Kessler's Plan B Not Needed Yet
"If I bust here I can play the Razz."
So said Allen "Chainsaw" Kessler to his tablemate J.J. Liu, just before the following hand took place.
The table folded around to Kessler in the hijack seat who raised to 5,300. Danny Wong, sitting to Kessler's left, then reraised to 12,800. It folded back to Kessler who didn't hesitate to announce he was all in for about 32,000 more. Wong, head bobbing as he listened to his iPod, took a couple of minutes to consider what to do.
"Two nines?" asked Wong. Finally he let it go, preserving his stack of 78,000. Kessler has 47,000 now, and may or may not be taking a seat in that Razz event that began about 45 minutes ago.
