Kitai Hero-Calls to Split

Maxime Taldir

Level 29 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Davidi Kitai opened to 325,000 from under the gun. All the other players folded to Natasha Mercier in the big blind who called.

Both of them checked the 3♠4♠5♦ flop and the Q♠ turn, but Mercier led out for 675,000 on the 3♣ river.

Kitai went into the tank for four minutes and called with K♣Q♣, only to discover that Mercier had K♦Q♥ as well.
