Kanit Put to the Test

Mustapha Kanit has had an amazing year on the felt. The Italian pro has cashed for over USD$2.3m already, a figure helped a lot by winning two High Roller titles on the EPT.

He's not finding it that easy on the APPT so far today though. He just tank folded in a big hand to drop to 19,575.

Peiran Liu opened to 700 from early position preflop and was called by Yang Zhang, Kanit and the small blind. The flop fanned and the action checked to Zhang who bet 2,700. Kanit and Liu called but the small blind folded. The turn was the and the action checked to Kanit who bey 5,400.

Liu took his time and then moved all in after he asked to look at Kanit's stack. Zhang folded and Kanit had a tough decision by the look of it. He slowly shook his head before resting it on his hand and took a couple of minutes before he folded.

"Queen-jack?" asked Zhang. Kanit pointed his thumb downwards to suggest it wasn't that good and then tapped the table while nodding his head when he saw Liu looking his way.
