Wattel Busts Two Positions Short of Paid Places
Level 14
: 8,000/16,000, 0 ante
Stud Hi-Lo Regular
Jordan Siegel brought in, Yehuda Buchalter completed and Mike Wattel made it two bets. Buchalter completed and he fired on fourth. Wattel called and Buchalter bet again on fifth. Wattel put in all his remaining chips and Buchalter called the required 3,000.
Buchalter had already made a seven-low and Wattel trailed. Buchalter spiked a pair of nines on seventh street. Wattel hoped to peel a five, eight or a ten to chop but he airballed his outs as the last card he would see in the tournament was a king.
