Katz Wins With Aces

Level 11 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

No-Limit Hold'em

Stephen Chidwick raised to 11,000 from under the gun. Cary Katz in early position, Artem Maksimov in the small blind, and Levon Khachatryan in the big blind all called.

Action checked around on the flop of 865 to the turn 10, where Maksimov bet 15,000. Chidwick and Khatchatryan folded while Katz raised to 45,000. Maksimov called.

Both players checked through on the river K. Katz tables AA for aces, which was good for the pot.

"Trapping," tablemate Andjelko Andrejevic said.

"I trapped myself," responded Katz as he raked in the pot.
