Action was picked up on the flop in a pot between Kristen Foxen in first position with David Stamm in the small blind and Galen hall in the big blind.

The flop read J♦8♥10♠ and action checked over to Foxen who bet 21,000 which only Stamm called.

Katz Makes A Straight Flush To Eliminate A Player

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 7 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

A player moved all in for 7,000 and action folded to Cary Katz in the big blind who tossed out one chip more to call.

Opponent: K♦2♠
Cary Katz: 10♦9♦

The flop of J♦8♠8♦ gave Katz a myriad of outs to win the pot and on the turn the 7♦ peeled off to give Cary Katz a jack-high straight flush. His opponent's king high flush draw was not going to receive any help on any river and the J♠ river sealed his fate.

"I really wish I won more than one big blind from that pot," remarked Katz as he took the remains of his opponent's stack.
