Katzenmeier Eclipses 400k
Level 15
: 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
An interesting situation developed between Dana Katzenmeier and an opponent. Katzenmeier, on the small blind, bet 23,000 on the river with the board showing 
.
His opponent, in the big blind, put out a number of chips that was more than a call, but less than a raise. The dealer declared it a raise, by rule, to 46,000.
Katzenmeier then three-bet to 73,000, and the opponent made a reluctant call. The 100k-plus pot went Katnzemeier's way, and he has one of the top stacks in the room as Day 1c approaches the end of play.
