Chen Opens Up a 2.5MM Lead

Andrew Chen is in the drivers seat now after huge pot was created just now.

Davidi Kitai opened with {5-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and Chen made the call with the {q-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}. The first three community cards out were {4-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{4-Clubs}. Chen checked, Kitai bet 150,000 then surprisingly called with his five-high when Chen raised to 525,000.

The turn was the {8-Clubs} and Chen now lead for 770,000 and Kitai made the call after picking up a flush draw. The {6-Diamonds} was the river card and Chen set the price to play at 2,050,000 and after a little Hollywooding Kitai released his hand.

The turn card was the {5-Hearts} and Kitai fired a seven-figure bet of 1.15 million. Chen stayed right with him having picked up the nut flush draw and made the call.

The river card was the {4-Clubs} and Kitai stuck to his guns, betting 2.3 million in an attempt to take this pot down. Chen saw right through the bluff and fired all in for 10.545 million. Kitai quickly mucked and Chen won the pot.

Kitai Claws Some Back

David Kitai opened to 250,000 with {10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} and Andrew Chen made the all with {A-Spades}{9-Hearts} and the dealer got busy dealing the {k-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} flop. Chen decided to lead out with a 425,000 bet and Kitai was going nowhere with his flush draw and the Belgian made the call.

The turn brought the {A-Hearts} into play and Chen bet again, making it 675,000 to play and Kitai made the call again. The flush hit on the river when the {2-Diamonds} arrived and Chen fired another barrel and bet 1,400,000 and Kitai quickly called and scooped the pot.

Kitai Almost Level Agaib

Joining the action on a {10-Hearts}{2-Spades}{5-Hearts} flop Davidi Kitai bet 190,000 having made top apir with his {10-Spades}{3-Spades} and Chen called with {A-Hearts}{9-Spades}. The turn was the {5-Clubs} and when Kitai checked Chen tapped the table and checked behind. The river was the {9-Clubs}, a bad card for Chen because he made a second best pair and he decided to value bet it to the tune of 850,000 and Kitai quickly called.

Kitai is now within a million of Chen.

Chen Folds Best Hand

Davidi Kitai is back to within 260,000 chips of Andrew Chen after forcing him off the best hand.

On a flop reading {q-Spades}{8-Clubs}{5-Spades} Chen check-called a 190,000 bet from Kitai taking the hand to the {3-Clubs} turn. Check checked again but instead of calling with his {J-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} he folded when Kitai bet 450,000 with his {8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}; a move that shocked his friend Mickey Petersen in the commentary booth.
