Patience Brings Dividends for Kuether

Jerome Solomon
Jerome Solomon
Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Derek Normand raised to 24,000 from middle position. When the action reached Joe Kuether on the button, he shoved all in.

Normand made the call.

Joe Kuether: K♥K♣All in
Derek Normand: 7♣7♠

The runout 5♥10♠8♠J♠8♣ did provide a bit of a scare for Kuether, as Normand picked up flush and straight draws, but the kings held.

"You waited for kings and it paid off," Normand told Kuether. "Patience is a virtue."
