Katz Wins a Nice Pot
Level 7
: 400/800, 100 ante
A player opened from middle position to 2,000 and the hijack called, as did Cary Katz from the big blind.
Katz checked on the 
flop and the initial raiser bet 3,000. The player in the hijack was out, but Katz called to see the 
turn roll off the deck. Katz chose to lead out on the turn by betting 6,400 and he got a call.
The 
river card completed the board and Katz threw one orange chip in for a 5,000 bet. His opponent called but mucked his hand when Katz showed 
for a rivered straight.
Another player at the table told Katz that he has a read on him. "You only play aces and five-four" and Katz started laughing.
