Kessler, Chait Chop; More Notables Join
Level 5
: Limits 1,200/2,400, 0 ante
Allen Kessler and Craig Chait were heads up to the 4?A?6? flop, where Chait checked in the big blind. Kessler bet from the button, with Chait calling to the 9? turn.
Both players checked through to see the 10? river, where Chait led out.
"If you made a straight, I get scooped," said Kessler as he contemplated his next move. After a moment, Kessler slid out the call.
"Top two," said Chait as he turned over A?10?9?2? for aces and tens. Kessler then showed A?10?8?4? for the same two pair, and with no low available the players took back their bets and split the pot.
At nearby tables, Kosei Ichinose, Benny Glaser and Jeff Madsen have all joined the field on Level 6.
