Story Checks Out

[user127999]

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Stack sizes continue to stay the same and there hasn't been a turn card in what seems like ages.

Nathan Torrance is the aggressor here, raising all his buttons and every time Kurtis Boulette limps his.

There's a pattern developing as Torrance picks up small pot after pot until Boulette makes a stand and plays back at him in the larger ones, bringing things back to even.
