Kaverman Binks the River
Level 13
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Jean-Noel Thorel raised to 32,000 as the first player to act and was called only by Byron Kaverman in the big blind. On a 
flop, Kaverman checked and subsequently called when Thorel continued for 32,000.
The 
on the turn was checked and Kaverman only bet 16,000 on the 
river. Thorel leaped out of his chair to study the bet and his opponent before he made the call.
Kaverman flipped over 
for trips treys and that won the pot. "You had a jack?" he asked and Thorel nodded "ace jack".
