Kidd Catches a King
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
The player in the hijack opened to 6,000 and Lawrence Kidd defended from the small blind.
The flop came out 5♣4♠10♥ and Kidd check-called a bet of 15,000 from his opponent to see the 2♦ on the turn.
Kidd checked once more and his opponent announced he was all in, which Kidd snap-called to put himself at risk.
Lawrence Kidd: K♠K♦
Opponent: 5♦7♦
"Wow! Didn't see that one coming," Kidd's opponent shook his head, "I guess I have to hit a seven or a five!"
Luckily for Kidd, the river was the blank Q♥ and he was awarded the pot for a double.
