$200,000 Showcases The Best of UltimateBet
This past Sunday's $200,000 guarantee had 2 of the UltimateBet pros go deep. Shawn Rice was short stacked late but held onto 11th place and a $1600 pay day. Jim "Krazy Kanuck" Worth did his best making the final table as a big stack. After over 6 hours of play the blinds can get big and many chips get passed around with steals and re-raises. A hand that destroyed KK was when he limped from the small blind with 9T or diamonds and the big blind checked. The flop came down 79T rainbow. KK check raised him with top 2 pair. BB moves all in. What can this guy possibly have? Krazy Kanuck calls only to see the BB had J8 and flopped a monster straight. KK couldn't improve and was crushed. Krazy Kanuck busted out in 6th place netting $8500.
Did KK make the right move putting his stack on the line? Could you have laid this down?

I limped from the small blind into the big blind with a 9 10 of Diamonds. The Big Blind checked. The flop came down
7 9 10 rainbow, I checked, he bet, I raised, He pushed. I called with top 2 pair. He had J8 off and had flopped a straight for
a massive pot, taking over the chip lead and brutalizing my stack.
