Katz Dodges a Second Bullet
"500,000 chips or reenter," has been the motto for Cary Katz since he sat down after the first break of the day. So far, Katz is well on his way to 500,000 chips and not having to reenter...as of yet.
Michael Brinkenhoff raised it up in middle position and Brandon Wilson called in the cutoff. Katz came along from the big blind and the flop of K♠J♠4♠ hit the felt. Brinkenhoff continued with a bet of 15,000 and Wilson called. Katz check-raised all in for 125,000 and Brinkenhoff reshoved all in. Wilson called off his stack of just over 100,000 and all three hands were tabled.
Brandon Wilson: A♠10♦
Cary Katz: 10♠5♠
Michael Brinkenhoff: A♦K♥
Katz flopped the best hand with a flush but Wilson had the best odds to overcome it with a better flush draw. The 5♥ on the turn and the 6♥ on the river bricked out and Katz celebrated.
"500k, here we come!"
