Event 1 (Flight 1E): Katana Quadruples Up

"Battles At The Beach"

Event 1 ($175 No Limit Hold'em $125,000 GTD)

Level 10 (Blinds 500/1,000/100)

Total Flight 1E Entries: 132

Frank Katana (Toronto, Canada)

Percentages tend to flatten out when there are more than to or three players all-in pre-flop, so when Frank Katana (Toronto, Canada) rolled over the best hand in a four-way all-in situation, he wasn't feeling quite as strong about the potential results.  Katana had just over (10) big blinds, and was at risk:

Katana: 10♣ 10♦

Player X: 9♣ 9♦

Player Y: 8♠ 8♥

Player Z: K♦ Q♦

Runout: 9♠ 2♣ 4♠ 10♥ 2♠

Frank looked as if he'd be looking for another flight to enter, but after spiking the ten on the turn, he'd only need to fade a few of his opponents outs to scoop the pot.  With the board pairing on the turn, Katana turned his 13,100 into a much more playable stack of 51,000.
