Katz With Another Double Up

Level 12 : 3,500/7,000, 7,000 ante

Dan Smith raised all in from the small blind with {k-Clubs}{q-Spades} and Cary Katz snapped him off with {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}. It was a race and Katz's tournament life was on the line.

The flop came {k-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} and Smith took the lead with a pair of kings. The turn brought the {8-Diamonds} and Katz picked up a flush draw. The dealer burned and turned the {4-Diamonds} on the river and Katz nailed his flush as he turned to Daniel Negreanu to give him a high five.

"G.O.A.T. short stack ninja," Negreanu said with a laugh as Katz pulled another rabbit out of his hat.
