Katz Has All of the Tens

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante

Cary Katz, who finished runner-up to Davidi Kitai in a bracelet event last summer, raised to 400 in middle position. A player in the cutoff three-bet to 1,200, a third player cold-called in the big blind, and Katz called as well.

The trio all checked on a flop of {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{k-Hearts}, and the turn was the {2-Hearts}. The action checked to Katz, who fired out 1,075, and the player in the big blind called.

The river was the {k-Spades}, Katz picked up the pot with a bet of 2,325, and he tabled the two remaining tens in the deck: the {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}.

According to Katz, it's the second time today he's made quad tens. Unfortunately for him, there are no bonuses in this version of Texas Hold'em.
