Kela Finding It's Rough Going, Too

Robert Mizrachi isn't the only one to start the day on a losing streak. A few tables over, Alfons Kela is having the same problem. First, he raised from the small blind and was called by George Lind in the big blind. Both players drew two cards, then Lind called again when Kela bet. On the second draw, Kela took only one card, while Lind again took two. Lind called after Kela bet.

On the third draw, Kela took one card while Lind stood pat. Both players checked it down. Lind showed 10-9-8-4-3. It was good.

A few hands later, Kela reraised David Baker after Baker raised before the first draw. Baker called and drew one to Kela's one. Baker check-raised after Kela bet. Kela called. On the second draw, Baker was pat, while Kela drew one card. Sensing he might be behind, Kela just called after Baker bet. Baker again stood pat on the third draw, as did Kela. Baker bet, and Kela called. Baker showed "Number Two." 7-6-4-3-2. Kela looked sick and mucked his hand.

Baker is now up to 59,000 chips.
