Katz Winds Up Third-Best as Johnson Scoops a Massive Pot

Level 12 : Limits 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

Cary Katz raised in the cutoff and Raymond Bentley three-bet on the button. "Ray, I thought we were friends?" Katz said. Marco Johnson then four-bet in the big blind.

"What's going on? I'm the tightest guy at the table and this is the first hand I played," Katz said as he called, while Bentley also called.

The flop came 1084 and Johnson bet. Katz then raised and Bentley called. Johnson then reraised, Katz put in another raise, Bentley called, and Johnson reraised. Katz called all in, while Bentley also called.

"If you win this, you're in the driver's seat," tablemate Gus Hansen said to Katz as the turn came the 4. Johnson then bet, and Bentley called.

Johnson bet again on the 6 river, and Bentley quickly called once more. Johnson showed 1010 for a full house, and Katz tossed JJ into the muck. Bentley also mucked QQ.

"I'm third-best," Katz said as he headed to the rail, while Johnson scooped the massive pot.
