Couden Staying Afloat

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

There were about 25,000 chips in the pot and the {J-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{4-Clubs} flop was out when we got to the table. The big blind checked, Joey Couden checked from under the gun, and the player next to act checked behind.

The {7-Diamonds} hit the turn and the big blind checked. Couden bet 15,000, both of his opponents folded, and Couden took the pot.

"I should have gotten it in preflop," said the player in the big blind. He told the table he'd had {A-}{K-}.

"I had you beat," Couden said.

"Preflop?"

"Yeah, preflop."
