Axe Falls on Bateman
In the heat of the poker game, the counter came when the K♣10♥8♣ hit the table, with a hefty 11,500 already in the pot. Lyle Bateman, the small blind, chose to hold steady, and John Donnelly took the initiative with a 12,500 bet.
Bateman, not backing down, decided to put it all on the line with a 40,000 bet, leaving him with zero chips if he lost. Donnelly pondered, and after some thought, made the call. Both players revealed their hand, and the board was set: K♠9♠ versus K♥J♠.
The cards on the table were not in Bateman's favor as the 5♠3♦ came into play, allowing Donnelly to sweep the pot.
Following the game, Donnelly stood tall with a hefty 176,000, while Bateman was sent packing, bitter and bankrupt with zero chips.
