The Saga of Marty Kaufman

[user108095]

Marty Kaufman has had a down and up day. Earlier in the tournament, Kaufman had left his table thinking he'd gone bust when another player chased him down, letting him know he still had 200 chips left.

Kaufman returned, and promptly doubled up, and then doubled again, giving him 1,000 before the hand we caught on the flop. Kaufman's opponent bet 1,050 on a board of {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

{J-Hearts}

{K-Spades}

and Kaufman called.

Kaufman: {A-?}

{A-?}

{K-?}

Opponent:

{A-?}

{J-?}

Just when it looked like his day was done, again, Kaufman sucked out as the board finished {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{A-Hearts}

. He now has 2,500 going into the dinner break.
