Katzenmeier Hits the King

Kirk Brown

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Timothy Vu opened to 15,000 and was three-bet to 40,000 by Dana Katzenmeier. The action folded back to Vu who made the call and the two went heads-up to the flop of 10?4?Q?.

Vu then led out for 50,000, and after a few moments, Katzenmeier moved all in for 103,000 total.

"Aghh, I bet that much so I could fold, but now I don't know what to do!" Vu scratched his head for a few seconds but eventually made the call to put his opponent at risk.

Dana Katzenmeier: K?J?
Timothy Vu: J?10?

Vu was surprised to find he was actually in the lead with his pair of tens, but the turn changed that when it came the K? to improve Katzenmeier to a pair of kings. The board completed with the brick 7? and Katzenmeier was awarded the pot for a double.
