Howell Gets There on the River to Double
Level 2
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
Five players went to a flop of 8♥2♠6♦ where Kris Fourstar bet 2,000 from the hijack. Chance Howell then raised to 4,000 on the button, and Latigo Hance in the big blind and Fourstar called.
The turn was the 9♥ and Fourstar bet another 6,000. Howell then moved all in for 15,500 and Hance folded, but Fourstar called and turned over K♠K♦. Howell had 8♦7♥ for a pair and straight draw, and he hit his straight on the 10♥ river to double up.
"Kings are brutal, man. Trust me, I know," Howell said to Fourstar after the hand.
