Curt Kohlberg Beats the Game

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Ryan D'Angelo opened for 70,000 from under the gun, and Curt Kohlberg flatted from the next seat over. The action folded around to Tony Gregg in the big blind, and he came along to see the flop fall {2-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{a-Hearts}.

The "End Boss" checked to D'Angelo and he did the same, prompting a bet of 175,000 from Kohlberg. Gregg then paused a beat to study the board and the pot, before sliding a raise to 550,000 forward. D'Angelo was over it and he folded quickly, but Kohlberg made his stand by moving all in for 860,000 total.

Gregg made the quick call and tabled {k-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for a flush draw, while Kohlberg showed down {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs} for top pair.

Turn: {2-Clubs}
River: {q-Spades}

Kohlberg's hand improved, Gregg's did not, and a pot of nearly 2 million was pushed to the former.
