Kates Finds the Double Up
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Action picked up on the river in a hand between Rudolf George in the big blind and Zachariah Kates in middle position.
With about 40,000 in the middle and the board reading J?4?8?3?K?, George bet 14,000, which was enough to put Kates all in, who had 12,700 behind.
After some thought, Kates made the call and tabled K?K? for three of a kind, kings, besting the A?2? of George, who had a busted flush draw.
