Another Fantastic Call From Kitai

Matthew Pitt

Davidi Kitai has retaken the chip lead in dramatic style after another great call on the river.

He had opened to 350,000 with {k-Clubs} {5-Clubs} then called when Andrew Chen three-bet to 900,000 with {K-Spades} {J-Clubs} . Neither player hit the {2-Spades} {Q-Clubs} {8-Hearts} , Chen bet 615,000 and Kitai made the call. The {4-Spades} on the turn was a blank but that did not stop Chen betting again, this time increasing its size to 1,480,000. Kitai made the call and it was off to the river with a huge pot brewing in the middle of the felt. The {5-Diamonds} was the river card and Chen moved all in for 11,190,000 and he covered Kitai.

Kitai went into the tank for three minutes, going through the hand in great detail in his head. Eventually he sat up and said, "yeah, I call" and as he saw his pair of fives was good a huge smile spread across his face. Chen laughed but must have felt sick as Kitai had hit a three-outer on him. The conversation between the players suggested that Kitai thought his king-high was good! Amazing stuff here in the EPT Berlin Main Event!
