(l-r) Holder, Kessler,
Alibrandi & Wolak

Zach “Red Locks” Kessler (Boca Raton) is all in for a starting stack of 20k and breaths a sigh of relief when there aren’t any callers.

Kessler is smack dab in the middle of three woman and all four are having a good time.

“It’s gotta be the lighting,” says Kessler after being admonished for wondering which of the four as the best red hair.

“It better not be red,” says Marsha Wolak (Fort Lauderdale), “or I’m going back to the salon for a refund.”

The other “red heads” include Paula Alibrandi (Miramar) and Paula Holder (Pompano Beach).
