Taherpur Ousts Katz; Takes From Kenney

Level 12
Cary Katz
Cary Katz

Cary Katz was down to 1,000 after he played a huge pot against Dara Taherpour in 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw. Taherpour explained that he made a wheel, while Katz made #2 early in the hand, with each street seeing a series of raises.

No-Limit Hold'em

Katz put in his final chip from middle position before Taherpour made it 25,000 from the button. Eric Wasserson defended from the big blind.

Wasserson check-folded to a bet of 20,000 on the A♣8♦2♥ flop, and the cards were turned over.

Cary Katz: J♣10♦All in
Dara Taherpour: A♦J♥

Katz picked up some outs after pairing his ten on the 10♥ turn but was eliminated after the 8♠ river.

On the next deal, Taherpour opened to 25,000 from the cutoff and Bryn Kenney called from the big blind.

The 9♣8♦3♣ flop checked through to the 7♦ turn. Kenney bet 20,000 and was called. Kenney sized up to 30,000 on the 2♦ river and was met with a snap-call.

Kenney had Ax7x but Taherpour had gotten tricky with K♣K♠ to take another pot.
