Black Makes the Right Call
Level 9
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Daniel Cates opened to 12,000 first to act with A♣J♣ and Taylor Black called in the big blind holding 8♥6♦.
Both players checked on the 10♣K♣K♥ flop and 8♦ turn; however, Black led out for 20,000 after the 3♦ completed the board.
Cates responded with a raise to 75,000 and Black burned up a couple of time extensions before looking Cates up.
Cates showed his bluff and Black turned over the best hand to earn the pot.
