"The Catch"

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Javier Montano got the rest of his 16,800 chips in preflop against Blake Barousse. Montano's {a-Clubs}{4-Clubs} was well behind the {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades} of Barousse and stayed behind on the {q-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{k-Hearts} flop. However, the turn gave him all the help he needed when it fell the {a-Spades}. The river bricked off with the {k-Clubs} and Montano got the double he spent all last night and this morning thinking about.
