Kerbel Calls Quickly
Level 31
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Jeremy Kerbel raised to 600,000 from the cutoff, Steven Abitbol called in the small blind, then the big blind folded and the dealer fanned out a flop of K♥A♠K♦.
Abitbol checked to Kerbel, and he checked behind; the 5♣ on the turn saw the same action, and both players checked. The 3♠ on the river saw Abitbol lead for 250,000 and Kerbel quickly called.
Abitbol tabled 9♥9♠8♥7♠ for kings and nines, but Kerbel tabled A♣J♣8♦6♦ for aces and kings to take the pot.
