Horiuchi Takes It All to Gottlieb
Level 19
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Tom Gottlieb raised in the cutoff to 25,000 and faced a three-bet from Masato Horiuchi on the button to 63,000. Gottlieb decided to four-bet to 110,000 and after some thoughts, Horiuchi called.
The flop brought Q♥A♠9♥ and both checked to see a 5♣ on the turn. Gottlieb check-called Horiuchi this time for 75,000.
When the 6♠ hit the river, Gottlieb checked again and faced a shove from Horiuchi, putting him at risk for his last 110,000.
Gottlieb went deep into the tank and eventually called with K♣K♥, only to see A♦10♦ in Horiuchi's hands for a pair of aces and Gottlieb made his way to the exit.
