Recovery Ward

Joe Ward opened with a raise to 950 from early position and Adam Katz reraised to 3,050 from middle position. Ward made the call.

They took a flop of {J-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{9-Hearts} and Ward checked to Katz who fired out 4,500. Ward then check-raised, making it 20,000 to go. Katz thought for a few minutes before laying down his hand as Ward flashed pocket queens.

After some recent losses, Ward is now back to 66,000 with Katz now in trouble on 12,000.
