Wattel Too Tough for the Chainsaw

Allen "Chainsaw" Kessler was happy to be near the top of the counts in the early-going. Since we've come back from dinner, however, a few hands haven't gone Kessler's way.

Kessler, Barry Shulman, Mike Wattel and one other player were in for two bets pre-flop. Shulman checked a {4-Clubs} {q-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} flop to Wattel, who bet. Kessler and Shulman both called.

Wattel fired again when the turn paired the board, {4-Spades}. It was a bet that only Kessler called. The action was the same on the {a-Clubs} river. Wattel showed down {k-Hearts} {j-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {6-Clubs} for a rivered Broadway straight. Kessler looked bck at his cards, muttered something unintelligible, and then mucked.

Wattel now has 20,000. Kessler has about 48,000.
