Katz Scores Knockout
Level 4
: Blinds 300/600, 900 ante
Cary Katz opened to 2,000 from under the gun and was called by Scott Bohlman in the cutoff. A player in the small blind then three-bet to 6,500 only to see Katz come back over the top for 15,000. That high level of action convinced Bohlman to vacate the pot with the small blind moving all in. Katz snapped it off with the covering stack to put his opponent at risk.
Both players stood pat after which the small blind turned over 9x8x5x4x3x. It was not good, however, as Katz held 8x7x5x4x2x to eliminate his opponent. "Can I change my mind" the small blind joked, asking for one more card as he stood up to make his exit. "It's a cooler" Shawn Sheikhan, who was also at the table, offered as some form of consolation to the felted individual.
