A Game of Cat and Mouse
Level 31
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Michael Blanovsky raised to 600,000 and Ken Takayama called from the small, as well as Zachary Zehnder from the big.
Three ways, they saw the J♦6♥9♦ hit the felt and both blinds check-called a bet of 600,000 from Blanovsky.
All three slowly checked through on the 6♠.
The river completed the Q♣ and Takayama took well over a minute weighing his options before tapping the table. Both players behind him checked as well.
Takayama was reluctant to table his hand but seeing as no one else was volunteering he showed 7♦8♦ for the missed straight and flush draw, prompting Zehner to table A♥K♠ and Blanovsky flashed the A♦5♦ before sending his hand into the muck. Zehnder collected the pot with his ace-high.
