Kittell Gets There
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
After an under-the-gun limp, the player in middle position raised to 2,500, and Matt Kittell called in the hijack. The player in the cutoff then three-bet to 8,500, and only middle position and Kittell called.
The trio saw a flop of 7♥3♦7♦ and it checked to Kittell, who moved all in for 12,100 to put himself at risk. The cutoff folded and middle position thought for a moment before making the call.
Matt Kittell: 8♦5♦
Middle position: A♥Q♥
Kittell pulled ahead on the 8♣ turn, pairing his eight, and improved to a flush on the 6♦ river to earn the double up.
