Paul Back Above Starting Stack
Level 2
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Shajan Paul raised to 800 in the hijack, the player in the cutoff flatted, and Zachariah Kates three-bet to 2,200 on the button. Paul and the cutoff both came along for the ride.
The flop of 7♥4♦Q♦ checked through to the K♥ turn. Paul checked, the cutoff bet 4,000, Kates called, as did Paul.
The river brought the 2♠, Paul checked and the cutoff moved all in for 7,400, putting himself at risk. Kates folded and Paul made the call.
The cutoff tabled 9♦7♦ for a missed flush draw and the pot was pushed to Paul after he turned over A♣K♣ for a pair of kings.
