Weird Win for Katz

Level 7 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

There was roughly 7,500 in the pot with the board reading {5-Clubs}{4-Spades}{8-Spades} {2-Clubs}. Action was on Cary Katz after he had bet 5,000 and was raised to 15,000 by Barry Woods on the button. Katz piled his stack in, somewhat splashing his bet and tabled his hand, which was {5-}{4-} for two pair. Woods then tabled his hand, which was {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}.

The dealer called over the floor, as Woods still had a decision to call for 8,600 more. As the floor had approached, Woods said he was folding to that raise. Katz raked in the pot, and he was given a two-hand penalty for exposing his cards prematurely with action pending. He forked over a small and big blind for 2,400, and play is now continuing.
