Ktorza Makes Some Hands

Philippe Ktorza had fallen below the starting stack during the first couple of levels, but things have turned around for him here in Level 3. A short while ago a humble pocket pair of deuces turned into flopped quads for Ktorza, netting him a decent-sized pot.

He was soon involved in another hand when he and three other players called an opening raise to 450 from a player sitting under the gun. The flop came {K-Spades}{J-Hearts}{8-Spades} and when it checked to the preflop raiser he continued for 1,600. Ktorza, sitting to his opponent's left, called quickly, and the other three players folded.

The turn brought the {4-Diamonds}. This time the preflop raiser checked, and Ktorza, acting without haste, bet 2,700. His opponent called.

The river brought the {8-Clubs}. Both checked, and Ktorza turned up {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs} for top pair, top kicker. His opponent mucked, and Ktorza is now back up to 33,000.
