The Katz Out of the Bag

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Cary Katz
Cary Katz

Krasimir Yankov opened to 10,000 from early position and Cary Katz flat-called from the next seat before Rodger Johnson called from the cutoff and Francisco Benitez came along from the big blind.

Action checked to Katz on the flop of {j-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{6-Spades} and he moved all in for 11,000, bringing quick folds from Johnson and Benitez before Yankov called.

"No! You're supposed to fold!" cried Katz.

Cary Katz: {9-Spades}{8-Spades}
Krasimir Yankov: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

Katz had a pair of nines put was behind the kings of Yankov and couldn't improve as the board ran out {6-Hearts}{2-Clubs} to mark the PokerGO founder's elimination.
