Kerber Makes River Call
Level 30
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Kelvin Kerber opened to 200,000 from under the gun. Action folded around and Alexander Ivarsson defended the big blind.
Ivarsson checked the J♥5♣9♥ flop to Kerber who bet 170,000. Ivarsson called. The 2♦ was checked around before Ivarsson led for 325,000 on the 9♣ river.
Kerber went into the tank for over a minute before calling. Ivarsson tabled 5♠4♦ for a pair of fives which was good enough to claim the pot.
