Level 36 : 15,000/30,000, 0 ante

In a limped pot and checked through {5-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Spades} flop, Cary Katz check-called a bet worth 45,000 by Henri Puustinen on the {8-Spades} turn. The {k-Spades} river was checked and Puustinen won the pot with the {8-Hearts}{4-Hearts}.

Henri Puustinen: {k-Hearts}{9-Spades}

The {q-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{7-Spades}{8-Spades}{8-Diamonds} board gave Katz two pair and he doubled.
