Fukata Raises Knechtel on the River
Level 1
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Heads-up on a flop of J?Q?3?, Masafumi Fukata bet 1,400 from the button and Gary Knechtel called in early position.
The turn was the 10? and Fukata bet another 3,000. Knechtel called to see the A? river, where he led out for 2,000.
Fukata then raised to 6,000 and Knechtel called with A?J? for two pair. Fukata showed K?8? for a rivered straight as Knechtel leaned over the table to get a closer look at the board.
"I just wanted to make sure I had you before the river, which I think I did. It's my favorite part of the game, the river," Knechtel said.
