Pesek Pushes Out Kitchens

Johnny Kitchens opened with a raise to 17,000 from under the gun, and it folded to Michael Pesek who made it 51,000 from the button. The blinds got out, and Kitchens called.

The flop came monotone -- {8-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{5-Hearts} -- and Kitchens checked quickly. Pesek sat for about a minute with his hand over his mouth, looking into the distance. Then he checked as well.

The turn came the {6-Spades}, and Kitchens sat with his arms folded, looking at Pesek. He fired 55,000, then sat back to see what his opponent would do. Pesek again took his time, rechecking his cards, then grabbing some green (25,000) chips. Finally he declared he was all in. Kitchens leaned forward and quickly pushed his cards away.

Pesek moves up to 565,000, while Kitchens slips to 320,000.
