Gendelman Finds a Hand to Beat Caruso

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Alan Gendelman
Alan Gendelman

Alan Gendelman raised to 14,000 in the cutoff and Steven Hlavinka called on the button, as did Christopher Caruso in the big blind.

Gendelman continued for 22,000 on the 9♠6♦5♦ flop, and only Caruso called. Gendelman then bet 35,000 on the 2♣ turn, and Caruso again called.

Both players checked the J♣ river. "Only hand I can beat you with," Gendelman said as he showed K♦9♥, and Caruso mucked 9♦8♣.

"F**k aces. Give me king-nine in the cutoff," tablemate Justin Arnwine chimed in.
