Garshofsky Needs to Rebuild After Huge Payoff to Kachel

Level 13 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Bill Kachel
Bill Kachel

Bill Kachel opened for 8,000 early and got three callers. He continued for 15,000 on {4-Spades}{5-Hearts}{2-Hearts} and only Mitch Garshofsky, in the cutoff, called. On the {3-Hearts} turn, Kachel bet again for 28,500. Garshofsky again peeled to the {8-Diamonds}.

"One hundred and fifty thousand," Kachel told the dealer.

Garshofsky seemed a bit crushed by the massive bet, but after 90 seconds or so in the tank, he called. Kachel tabled {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}.

"They never believe me!" he crowed.

"Nice hand," Garshofsky said. "Spend my money well."
