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.
