Kogel Squeezes One Out

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

A player raised in early position and there was one caller before Nathanael Kogel joined the pote in the small blind. The big blind then shoved for 31,800 and the action folded back to Kogel in the small blind. He took about a minute before deciding to call, and both hands were on their backs.

Nathanael Kogel: K?10?
Big blind: Q?10?

"Ah, I was just trying to squeeze the dead money," the big blind said as the cards were turned.

The dealer spread a flop of J?9?4?, giving the big blind an open-ended straight draw.

"Yes! A sweat," Kogel yelled.

The 2? turn and 4? river changed nothing though, sending Kogel's opponent to the rail.
