Katz Scores Double Up

Herbie Teope

Level 11 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Masashi Oya raised 50,000 while under the gun, and received calls from Seth Davies, who was in late position and reloaded after an earlier knockout, and Cary Katz, who was in the big blind.

The dealer placed Q?7?4?, and the board produced action.

Oya bet 50,000, and Davies raised to 140,000. Action returned to Katz, who check-raised all in for 690,000. Oya quickly got out of the way, but Davies had Katz covered and called.

“I’m on a draw,” Davies said as the cards were tabled.

Cary Katz: A?Q?
Seth Davies: A?5?

Katz was ahead but had to dodge the clubs. The K? appeared on the turn, and then 2? to give Katz the double up.
