Kachittavong Holds to Double Off Foote
Level 23
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
In a battle between the blinds, Federico Castro led out for 75,000 on a flop of 5♣3♥Q♠ and Chris DeQuatro called.
Both players checked the 3♦ turn. Castro then bet 325,000 on the 2♥ river, and DeQuatro called with Q♦J♠ for two pair. Castro mucked.
The next hand, Castro bet 150,000 from the button on a flop of J♣9♦4♣ and was called by Soukha Kachittavong in the big blind and Joe Foote in early position.
The turn was the 10♦ and Kachittavong bet 400,000. Foote then moved all in, Castro folded, while Kachittavong committed his last 80,000.
Kachittavong showed K♥Q♥ for top pair, while Foote had Q♦J♦. Kachittavong was ahead with his king-kicker and needed to dodge Foote's flush draw, and Foote missed the 3♠ river as Kachittavong doubled up.
