Kakon Folds to Gathy's River-Bet

Level 9 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Michael Gathy was in middle position, closing the action on the river of the {5-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{k-Spades}{q-Diamonds} board. The pot had already grown to about 80,000 in chips and Gathy's right-hand neighbor William Kakon had checked.

Gathy cut out a bet of 41,000, putting in roughly two-thirds of his remaining stack. Kakon tanked for a while but he couldn't convince himself to call. He let his hand go and Gathy dragged the pot, vaulting to the neighborhood of 145,000.
