Katz Surprised His Hand is Best
Level 12
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Cary Katz raised to 24,000 on the button and Thomas Boivin defended in the big blind.
The flop of J♠2♦K♥ went check-check, bringing the J♣ turn. Boivin check-called a bet of 25,000 from Katz and the river fell the 4♠ where both players checked.
"King's good," said Katz expecting to lose the hand.
"Oh, my lucky day," he continued when Boivin turned over 3♠3♥.
Katz tabled 5♦5♠ and the pot was pushed his way.
