Kuerten Playing Hard

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Three players saw a flop of {5-Clubs}{6-Spades}{8-Spades} with about 5,000 in the pot. The small blind was first to act and checked, prompting the big blind to bet 3,400. Brazilian tennis star Gustavo Kuerten smooth-called from the cutoff as the small blind got out of the way.

The big blind continued to fire, this time to the tune of 6,025, when the {9-Diamonds} appeared on the turn. Kuerten once again called as the dealer put out the {5-Diamonds} on the river. The big blind slowly bet 7,000 only to have Kuerten quickly move all in for around 19,000 more. The big blind tanked for a solid three minutes before giving up the hand. Kuerten is up to around 60,000.
