Kilpatrick In a Spot
Level 10
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Kory Kilpatrick has been occupying a difficult spot between two tough players for most of the evening, with Tommy Hang on his left and Tom Alner on his right. Kilpatrick is a tough player in his own right, though, and has been holding his own while maintaining a stack hovering just over 100,000 for the last couple of hours.
Just now Kilpatrick open-raised to 3,000 from late position, then saw Hang reraise to 9,000 behind him. It folded back and Kilpatrick called, then the flop came 
. Kilpatrick checked, and when Hang began to set chips out for a bet, Kilpatrick quickly zipped his cards face down to the dealer, having instantly decided to pick a better spot to tangle.
