Cary Katz Gets Max Value from Aces
Raphael Schreiner raised from the hijack and Cary Katz potted to 48,000 from the big blind. Schreiner called.
Katz continued for 25,000 after the [6h2s2h] flop landed, and Schreiner called again.
The turn was the [8c] and Katz slowed down. “I’m gonna give you a free card, you seem like a nice guy,” he said.
Schreiner, however, slid forward a pile of chips to cover Katz’ remaining 142,000.
Katz noted that a deuce would be troubling for him, but that he can’t get away from his hand. Then he called.
“You’re doing good,” Schreiner said, rolling over the [9s8d7d6d]. Katz was indeed ahead with the [AdAcTh7h].
The [Kh] river sealed a big double for Katz, who improved to a flush.
“You’re braver than you look,” Katz said.
“Thank you?” replied Schreiner and started laughing about whether he should take that as a compliment or not.
