Katz Can't Pull the Trigger
Level 8
: 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Fedor Holz opened to 90,000 from middle position and Justin Bonomo called from the small blind. Cary Katz three-bet to 400,000 out of the big blind and Holz called while Bonomo folded.
The flop came 
and Katz check-called a bet of 225,000 from Holz. The turn brought the 
and both players checked to the 
on the river. Katz went into the tank, using up two time extensions before finally checking. Holz quickly checked back and Kats announced king-high.
Holz wanted to see the hand, however, and Katz turned over 
. Holz tabled 
for the winner and Nick Petrangelo gave his bit of advice. "I think five-fifty was the answer," he said to Katz who was contemplating a river bluff.
