"Hello Kitty" Too Intimidating For Krupnik

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Justin Arnwine raised to 5,000 in middle position and Christopher Caruso called in the hijack. Ariel Krupnik then three-bet to 17,000 in the cutoff, Arnwine four-bet to 29,000, and only Krupnik called.

The flop came AQ4 and Arnwine bet 6,500. Krupnik called and they both checked the 4 turn.

The river was the 10 and Arnwine began winding up his Hello Kitty figurine, grabbing a tower of blue 5,000 chips and pushing it into the middle while the toy started to walk across the table. Krupnik could only let out a laugh as he quickly folded.
