Kono Finds a Double Up
Level 25
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 0 ante
Reiji Kono opened to 6,500 and received a call from Doug Polk.
Polk check-called a 4,000 bet from Kono on the 10♠9♦10♦ flop. The turn came the 4♥ and both players checked.
On the 2♦ river Polk checked and Kono fired a large bet of 30,000 which was nearly double what was in the pot. Polk moved all-in to put his opponent and risk and Kono instantly called.
Reiji Kono: J♦5♦
Doug Polk: 10♦7♥
"I didn't see the flush. Misread the board" Polk said, later remarking that the chips would have gone in the middle either way.
