The Why of Kitai

Davidi Kitai had raised to 550 from UTG and was called by Alexander Luber Sam Chartier, Ognjen Sekularac and Max Greenwood in the big blind.

The flop was {7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} and it was checked to Kitai who bet 1,450, everyone folded bar Greenwood who made a fairly speedy call to see the {2-Spades} on the turn.

Greenwood now check-called a bet of 3,300 from the Belgian before both players checked the {Q-Spades} river. Kitai sighed and showed a slightly unexpected {5-Clubs}{3-Hearts} but Greenwood scooped with his two pair holding of {7-Clubs}{6-Spades}.

Two Pair for Timex

On the {A-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} flop, Martin Jacobson called a bet of 1,300 from Mike "Timex" McDonald before seeing the {5-Diamonds} come out on the turn. Jacobson checked and McDonald checked behind.

That brought the two players to the river where the {9-Spades} landed. Jacobson bet 2,800 and McDonald quickly called.

Jacobson turned up the {A-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} for top pair, but McDonald's two pair with the {A-Clubs}{5-Spades} was the winner and he scooped in the chips.

McCrink called. The river was the {10-Hearts} and McCrink checked a third time. Jaka again doubled his bet and fired 3,200. McCrink folded and Jaka won the pot.

Paur Busts Sanioglu

Taylor Paur and Ekrem Sanioglu got all the money into the middle preflop with Sanioglu the one at risk. He held the {10-Spades}{10-Clubs} and was not delighted to see Paur table the {A-Hearts}{A-Spades} for the best hand.

After a flop, turn and river of {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{9-Hearts}, Sanioglu was relegated to the rail.

Paur Some Sugar on Me

A flop of {9-Spades}{8-Spades}{7-Spades} was checked around to Team PokerStars Pro Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier who bet 1,600 and only Taylor Paur made the call to see the {A-Clubs} on the turn.

This time Paur check-called a bet of 2,650 and the dealer put out the {A-Hearts} on the river, Paur checked again and Elky bet 6,600 which Paur instantly called.

Grospellier showed {6-Spades}{4-Spades} but he'd been outdone as Paur had been holding {A-Spades}{K-Spades}.

Team PokerStars Pro Jonathan Duhamel was all in for 38,275 on the {10-Hearts}{8-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{A-Hearts} with the {10-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} versus the {J-Clubs}{9-Hearts} for Reza Mostafavi.

The river completed the board with the {8-Hearts} and kept Duhamel's hand best to give him the double up.

Good Start for Brammer

After Artem Litvinov raised several hands in a row, Chris Brammer three-bet the cutoff with {K-}{10-}. Jean Noel Thorel called on the button and the Russian also called.

The flop was {K-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and it was checked to Brammer who bet 2,200 with both players calling to see the {3-Hearts} on the turn. Litvinov checked and Brammer bet 6,300. Thorel called and Litvinov folded.

The river was a {10-} and Brammer bet just 5,500, Thorel shoved for 23,200 and Brammer instantly called with his two pair, Thorel only able to show {Q-}{10-} for a pair and a missed straight draw.

Thorel is currently heading back to the pay desk to re-enter.
