Kienen Gets an Opponent to Call Off in Massive Pot
Level 4
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Cassio Kienen raised to 1,200 in early position and Barny Boatman called. A player in the hijack then three-bet to 6,000, Kienen four-bet to 19,000, and Boatman folded. The hijack called and he and Kienen went heads-up to a flop of 5♥J♠8♣.
Kienen bet another 15,000 and his opponent called. Both players checked the J♣ turn and the 4♣ fell on the river.
Kienen then tossed out 50,000, enough to put his opponent all in. The cutoff tanked for nearly five minutes until he called for around 30,000.
"Queens or tens, right," Pat Lyons yelled out from the rail. Kienen showed A♥A♦ and the cutoff did, indeed, turn over Q♠Q♥ before heading off for the exit.
