Kebe Picks Up the Rockets
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Jimmy Kebe opened the button to 50,000 with A♠A♣ and Hiroki Karatsu called in the big blind holding 9♠8♠.
Both saw the 2♥9♥A♥ flop hit the felt, and Karatsu checked it over to Kebe, who fired 35,000. Karatsu called to see the J♥ fall on the turn, which put four hearts on the board.
The action checked to the J♦ river, where Karatsu checked. Kebe then fired 250,000 with his full house, and Karatsu quickly folded.
