Monster Pot as Ligeri Cracks Katz's Queens
Level 11
: 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Nan Hong raised to 5,000 from under the gun. Nick Petrangelo was all in for less than an ante and Justin Ligeri and Juha Helppi both called Hong's open.
Cary Katz then three-bet to 17,400 and Hong four-bet all in. Ligeri flat-called and Helppi folded. Katz then used a time extension before five-betting all in.
Ligeri thought for a while. "F*ck it," he said. "I call."
Nan Hong: 
Nick Petrangelo: 
Justin Ligeri: 
Cary Katz: 
The flop came 
and Ligeri clapped his hands together. "Two pair!"
The turn was the 
and the river the 
. "Full house baby," said Ligeri.
"How do I lose that hand?" bemoaned Katz. "He called it off with ace-four.
"It was suited!" said Ligeri.
"I built up a stack all day..." continued Katz.
