Kovalski Sitting Above 100,000
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Allen Shen raised to 2,000 in the hijack, Graham Mathews flatted in the cutoff, and Fabiano Kovalski called in the big blind.
The flop came 9♦5♣9♥ and it checked to Mathews who bet 2,300. Kovalski raised to 7,000, Shen folded, and Mathews called.
The 5♦ turn went check-check, bringing the J♦ where Kovalski put out a block bet of 3,000. Mathews quickly called.
"Nice hand," said Mathews once Kovalski turned over A♣J♠ for two pair, jacks and nines with an ace kicker. Mathews showed Q♣J♣.
