Kent Forces Ferreira Off of a Straight
Level 16
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Jose Ferreira opened 19,000 on the button and Kevin Kent defended the big blind.
The dealer spread a flop of K♦10♠8♥ and Kent check-called a bet of 15,000.
When the J♣ hit the turn, Kent checked once again before Ferreira fired 30,000 across the line. Kent responded with a check-raise for the maximum of 169,000. Ferreira went into the tank for a little over a minute before folding and showing the 9♠7♠ for a straight. Kent proudly tabled A♥A♦7♦6♣ as he pulled in the pot.
