Kates Finds the Double Up
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Action picked up on the river in a hand between Rudolf George in the big blind and Zachariah Kates in middle position.
With about 40,000 in the middle and the board reading J♥4♥8♥3♦K♣, George bet 14,000, which was enough to put Kates all in, who had 12,700 behind.
After some thought, Kates made the call and tabled K♥K♦ for three of a kind, kings, besting the A♥2♠ of George, who had a busted flush draw.
