Affleck in the Tank

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

There were roughly 7,000 chips in the middle on 9♦9♠8♦. Curt Kohlberg checked in early position to Matthew Affleck who bet 2,000 on the button, and Kohlberg called.

Action slowed when the 8♣ fell on the turn, and both players checked their option. Kohlberg decided to lead for 5,000 when the 7♥ hit the river. Affleck went into the tank for around a minute before he made the call. Kohlberg tabled A♣K♣ but could not beat Affleck's A♠A♦.
