Event 3: The Blind Leading the Blind

$300 + $50 Limit Hold'em

Koval & Kim

Limit poker isn't the flashiest card game around, so a couple of players are trying to spice things-up. Howard Koval (Brick, NJ) is raising without looking at his cards. Marty Kim (New York, NY) re-raises "blind" to get extra chips in the pot.

Another player that likes to gamble is Jason Young (Suffern, NY), who takes a peek at his hole cards, and caps the betting at 800 (100/200 ante). After two more rounds of capped betting, Young and Koval go to the river on a board: A 2 6♠ 9♣ A♠.

Young bets "the most" and Koval says, "I have to see it." Young tables the winner A♣ K, for trip aces.

"That's how you play limit poker boys," says Young who takes his stack to 22k, while Koval is down to 1,100.
