Howard Puts On His Cape

Liam Gannon

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Action was picked up on the river between Taylor Howard in the cutoff and an opponent in the small blind with 38,500 in the center.

On a board reading , the small blind bet 12,000 which sent Howard into the tank. He contemplated his decision for a bit and then put in the chips for the call.

"Good call," his opponent said shaking his head "I missed." The small blind turned over for a missed straight draw and king-high, while Howard turned over for a missed flush and straight draw with ace-high. The ace-high was good and Howard scooped a pot that was worth over 50,000.
