Verbruggen Raises the River

Level 8
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Tom Verbruggen opened the cutoff to 4,500 with the player on the button calling and Graydon Kowal defending out of the big blind.
The flop came down A?2?3?, which saw a check from Kowal. Verbruggen fired a continuation-bet of 6,000 and only Kowal called.
The K? turn checked through for the A? to land on the river. Kowal now took the betting lead and put out a bet of 8,000. Verbruggen raised to 20,000 and Kowal snap-folded his cards.
