Katz Takes Down an Early Pot

Level 1 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Wai Kin Yong opened from middle position to 8,500 and Cary Katz defended his big blind. The dealer spread {10-Hearts}{7-Spades}{3-Hearts} out on the flop and action checked to Yong who pushed in a bet of 10,000 that was swiftly check-called by Katz.

The {6-Diamonds} landed on the felt, Katz led out for 25,000 and Yong thought for a moment before he called. A {10-Spades} completed the board, both players checked and Katz tabled {8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} for two pair.

Yong mucked his hand, sending one of the first pots of the day over to Katz.
