Herstein Gets Value from Kings

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante
Gary Herstein
Gary Herstein

From under-the-gun, Adam Thomas raised to 400 and was called by the players in the hijack and cutoff positions. Gary Herstein, from the button, then raised to 1,900. The blinds folded and the call was made by all three remaining players: Thomas, the hijack, and the cutoff.

On a flop of {10-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}, Thomas led for 3,500 causing the hijack and cutoff players to fold, while Herstein made the call.

The turn brought the {5-Diamonds}. Thomas fired another 5,100 that was called by Herstein.

On the {8-Hearts} river, both players checked. The {9-Spades}{9-Hearts} of Thomas was not enough to overcome the {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} of Herstein, who was pushed the pot.
