		Delores Bechtel crochets up a storm, and her extraordinary husband seldom meets any concept he can't build in either wood or metal or a combination of both.
		While others were out shivering and shoveling, Jim Bechtel emerged in his 25-horsepower Sears yard tractor with snow blower attachment and laughed in the face of the flakes - his machine has a fully enclosed cab.
		Bechtel, who spent 33 years at Caterpillar, has loved every minute of the 17 years he's been in retirement with his wife but seldom misses an opportunity to express solidarity with those of us still laboring for a paycheck.

	1993 World Series of Poker Main Event - Jim Bechtel - Sam Petrillo
		Farmer Jim Bechtel falls into the latter category, but for those few of us who know better, the statements that he was the one unknown at the final table of this year’s HORSE event were comical.
		Bechtel’s fourth place victory in the HORSE event came a long time after he’d gotten his World Series start.
		Bechtel looked at his cards for a moment, then announced a raise; he put in the 2,500 along with another 4,900 chips.

		Jim: “With President Reagan we saw a kind of foreshadowing of the policy that Bush and Cheney are executing around the world, which is a policy to do business with whomever will sign contracts with US corporations.

	WSOP Main Event - John Bonetti VS Jim Bechtel
		He started aggressive out of the blocks, could only watch as his lead slipped away to farmer Jim Bechtel and then finally, after mounting a comeback, threw away his chances of taking the title and a lot more money with one poorly thought out hand.
		With three players left—Bonetti, Bechtel and dentist Glenn Cozen—Bonetti was all but assured of at least second place.
		Cozen folded rather than play his stack at 6-1 odds, and Bonetti made what esteemed poker historian Mike Paulle (who, granted, is not a Bonetti fan) refers to as the worst play in poker history, putting his stack in the center and finishing third for his troubles.

	Flashback: Crude Vision
		A lot of this was being hatched out of the Bechtel offices, in cahoots with their buddies in the State Department and the National Security Council, and this went on for two years.
		Jim Vallette: There was an independent investigation into Edwin Meese, who was made the Attorney General under Reagan in 1985, and his relationship with E. Robert Wallach, who was one of the pipeline agents.
		Jim Vallette: They keep calling him a wily dictator that can concoct these wild schemes greater than anything the U.S. could concoct against him, so maybe that reflects some sort of psychological state remnant of their dealings in the 80’s.

	WSOP Update: Epic heads-up H.O.R.S.E battle brings fitting end to greatest ever WSOP tournament
		Playing till 9am (a 19 hour session) had been a big ask for the older generation; Jim Bechtel and Dewey Tomko both said they had misread their cards in the last few hours of that marathon session.
		With only a maximum of 8 hours rest behind them they would have to be careful as, with the final table being exclusively no-limit Texas Hold’em (as oppose to the mix of limit games played up to this point), the stakes were now much higher: one mistake could cost them their entire stack.
		This time Bechtel had raised from the button, and when Bloch re-raised from the big blind it looked to Bechtel like Bloch thought he was on a steal.

		Jim Bechtel started the day as the chip leader, with $100,100, $31,500 more than LA pro Greg Hopkins had in second chip position.
		Bechtel got into trouble with two hands where he called big bets (once on the flop and once pre-flop) only to stare at absolute blanks on the board and be unable to call either time.
		The flop came down Jc-8d-2c, Bechtel led out with a $16,000 bet, and Josh immediately moved him all-in, and when Bechtel called we saw Josh had Q-Q-10-9, an open-ended straight draw and an overpair that trailed Bechtel’s kings.

		Bechtel, a former World Champion, played short most of the day and finally got hold of some chips late, and he will be extremely dangerous, as will Tony D, a high limit player who won't be feeling any money pressure.
