Hands #10-14: Katz Keeps Rising

Level 19 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Hand #10: Cary Katz seized the momentum early on. After winning a huge pot with pocket eights, Katz looked down at {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs} in the small blind. He was facing an open-raise to 60,000 from hijack Jake Schindler who had {6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}. Katz three-bet to 200,000 but Schindler wasn't interested in fighting.

Hand #11: Ryan Riess picked up {3-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for the second time in a short span and he raised to 55,000 from the hijack. Kristina Holst called from the big blind with {A-Spades}{9-Diamonds} and she flopped the nut-flush draw on {J-Spades}{7-Spades}{4-Spades}.

Riess, however, checked behind and he was rewarded with a {3-Clubs} turn card. He fired a delayed c-bet and Holst paid the 75,000 to see the {Q-Clubs} river miss her draw. She checked for the final time and Riess ended the hand with a bet of 155,000.

Hand #12: Riess opened to 60,000 with {A-Clubs}{4-Clubs} and button Katz opted for a loose flat with {8-Spades}{6-Spades}. Both blinds folded, leaving Riess and Katz in a heads-up pot on the {K-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{7-Hearts} flop. Riess checked to Katz who bet 75,000 in position to take it down.

Hand #13: Schindler was in the small blind and he opened to 80,000 with {K-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}. Riess had a queen-eight and decided to let it go.

Hand #14: Ben Tollerene took the blinds and ante after raising to 55,000 from the hijack, holding {K-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}.
