Cary Katz Takes Chip Lead From Greenwood
Sam Soverel busted to Sam Greenwood and then a few hands later, the Canadian conceded the chip lead to Cary Katz.
Action was picked up after Katz raised to 91,000 from the button and Greenwood called to see the [Ac9s8c] flop.
Both players checked and Greenwood bet 70,000 after the [Th] fell on the turn.
Katz took some time before raising to 255,000 and after Greenwood called – the leaders of Event #4 went to the river.
The [Qd] brought checks from both seven-figure stacks and Katz tabled [7d6s].
As Katz collected the pot, Greenwood asked if Katz checked the nut straight back on the flop. The new chip leader laughed, before reminding the table that flopping the nuts in Short Deck doesn’t guarantee you anything.
Katz isn’t guaranteed a second British Poker Open cash yet either, but he is the chip leader two spots from the final table.
