Kitai Dislodges De Melo
![[user46298]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Davidi Kitai, who always seems to be there or thereabouts in these deep-stacked events, has been nursing a stack around the starting level so far, won a pot from Fatima Moreira de Melo just now who had earlier proven she's far from easy to shake from a hand out of position. She didn't have to show her hand, apparently, on the river when she looked up her bluffing opponent and he mucked, a level or so ago. This rule does seem to vary, although it's original anti-collusion purpose makes sense.
Anyhow, Kitai bet a flop of 
when de Melo and one other player checked to him (650). She called. They both checked the 
turn but on the 
river when de Melo checked Kitai threw in a pot-dwarfing 5,500. That was too rich for her blood and she folded (but still has 50k).
