Battles Has Kessler Talking to Himself
Badeucy
Allen Kessler, Roger Battles, and a third opponent went to the first draw. Kessler took two, Battles one, and the other player two. Facing a bet from the player on the button, Battles called from the small blind and Kessler came along from early position.
Kessler took two again, while both his opponents took one. Battles led out with a bet and was called. He stood pat on the third draw and Kessler drew one.
Battles bet again, and a visibly frustrated Kessler shot back in his chair. "Oh my God, how many times am I going to get this hand," Kessler said before calling with some hesitation. The other player folded.
"Eight with a Badugi," Battles said, turning over 
. Kessler could only slide his cards into the muck as he took a hit to his stack.
