Kessler Back to Starting Stack

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

The board read {j-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{j-Hearts}{7-Hearts} and Allen Kessler was heads up with an opponent who called a bet on the turn. The {6-Diamonds} on the river paired the board and Kessler tossed 1,150 into the pot.

"The turn kept me in," Kessler's opponent griped then open-folded {5-Spades}{4-Spades}. "I was looking for the straight.

Kessler cooly mucked saying, "If you hit the straight you win. I'm just glad I'm back to starting stack."

Indeed Kessler is back where he started with around 20,000 chips.

Circuit Points Leaders Will Be Keeping an Eye on Each Other

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante
Brett Schwertley
Brett Schwertley

Brett Schwertley and Kevin Calenzo sit #1 and #2 atop the WSOP-C National Leaderboard and will be able to keep close tabs on how the other is doing today, as the two are seated just a table apart (Calenzo, though, has yet to take his seat).

Schwertley, having previously won a preliminary event at WSOP-C Hammond, took down a $555 No-Limit Hold‘Em 6-Max event a few days ago here at Choctaw to leap Caleno and grab the top spot. While both have all but punched their tickets to the Circuit National Championship in May, there is no doubt that both will be looking to create some separation at the top before things wrap up here at Choctaw.
