Kolberg Trap Backfires
Level 30
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Katherine Kolberg limped from middle position. Gordon Eng bet 400,000 from the small blind and the big blind called. Kolberg responded with raise to 1,200,000 which was called by Eng and the big blind folded.
The flop of K♥7♠2♥ saw Kolberg bet 1,500,000 and was called by Eng. The 5♦ came on the turn and Kolberg announced all-in for 4,260,000 Eng snap-called and Kolberg responded "Shoot! You got me!"
Katherine Kolberg: 9♠9♦
Gordon Eng: K♣K♦
Eng flopped a set and slow-played to perfection and received all of Kolberg's chips. The 5♦ completed the board and Eng was convinced that Kolberg had pocket aces the way that she played the hand.
