Katz Wins Pot, Bonds Over Southern Roots
Level 1
: 100/200, 200 ante
Cary Katz was out of position in a heads-up pot against Dennis Richardson on a board reading 
. Katz checked before calling a bet of 900 from Richardson.
Both players checked on the 
turn. Katz led out with a small bet of 200 on the 
river and goaded his opponent.
"I'm giving you a bargain," Katz said. "My three-four didn't get there."
Richardson said he knew his "ace-high is no good" and folded. After the hand, Richardson and Katz bonded over their shared southern roots.
"I'm a southerner, too. I'm from Georgia," Katz told Richardson, who is from Kentucky.
