Ko's Jam Takes it Down

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Action was picked up with 10,000 in the pot and a flop of {10-Spades}{a-Spades}{9-Clubs} on the table with four players still in the hand. Ryan Ko, the small blind, led out for 4,000. Frank Kassela, in middle position, raised to 9,000.

After a fold from late position, the hijack smooth-called after a minute or so of thought, putting action back on Ko. After a couple minutes in the tank, he put in the reraise to 20,000. Kassela got out of the way while the hijack made the call.

The pair checked through the {8-Clubs} turn leading to the {k-Hearts} on the river. Ko moved all in for 25,200 and his opponent snap-folded, giving the pot to Ko. He turned over {q-Spades}{j-Spades} for the straight. Kassela told him that had the hijack not smooth-called, he probably would have doubled up Ko, sharing that he had folded {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}.
