Katoa Gets There on the River in Three-Way Pot
Level 8
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Tom Katoa bet 1,500 from the small blind on a flop of 6♥7♥9♣ and Khossein Kokhestani called in middle position. Oscar Becerra then raised to 10,000 in the hijack, and both opponents called.
The turn was the A♣ and Kokhestani opened the betting with 10,500. Becerra flung his cards into the muck in frustration, but Katoa called to the 2♥ river.
Both players checked, and Katoa showed A♥5♥ for the rivered flush. Kokhestani claimed he had flopped a set of sixes as he mucked.
