Kite is One of the WSOP's Colorful Characters

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

Walan Kite, one of the more engaging and entertaining personalities in attendance throughout the 2019 WSOP, has made his way into the mix in the Little One for One Drop. Kite is looking for his fifth cash of this year's series, with his best showing of the summer coming in $1,000 Seniors Championship. He finished 172nd in that event for $3,758 and has been a staple at this year's WSOP throughout the enitre summer.

Kite told PokerNews about his untimely exit from the Main Event yesterday, in which most of his stack was lost when his {a-Hearts}{a-Spades} was cracked by Jean-Robert Bellande's {9-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} on a {5-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} runout. The turn brought in the two pair for Bellande, who min-raised Kite's bet and ended up leaving Kite with just 9,000 after the fallout.

Kite commented today that Bellande is one of only two players he would call the turn raise on in that situation, with the other being Mark Kroon.

Kite is currently sitting on 50,000 chips in Event #75.

Scroggins Survives, Doubles Through Keller

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

Steven Hunt opened to 800 from early position, Joshua Scroggins called on his direct left, and Wayne Keller three-bet, making it 2,800 total.

Hunt called, and Scroggins went all-in for his remaining chips, 6,400 total. Keller five-bet to 37,700, and Hunt bowed out.

Wayne Keller: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Joshua Scroggins: {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}

Board: {8-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{a-Clubs}{9-Spades}{q-Clubs}

The {8-Diamonds} on the flop all but clinched the double for Scroggins, who got the much needed double.

Robbins Hits the River

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante

With around 14,000 already in the middle and a board reading {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}, the player in the small blind led out for 5,000. A player in middle position called and a player, two positions to his left, Gregory Robbins went all in for 30,000. The original bettor folded and the player in middle position who was covered called for the remainder of his stack.

Robbins: {j-Spades}{8-Spades}
Opponent: {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

The player in middle position was surprised to see that he was in good shape with just king high. But the board ran out {4-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} which gave Robbins two pair and sent his opponent to the rail.

Watson Goes All In Blind

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante

Mitchell Watson, down to his last 7,000, decided to go all in blind preflop, and got three callers.

The flop came {q-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{2-Clubs}, and all three remaining players checked, with Watson at risk. On the {3-Clubs} turn, Chen Wang bet 6,000 from the button when the action checked to him, and only Scott Vener called from the cutoff.

The river came {a-Diamonds}, and Vener check-folded to another bet from Wang. Wang showed {a-Hearts}{q-Spades} for two pair, and Watson, who still had yet to look at his cards at that point, tabled {10-Spades}{7-Diamonds} and headed for the exit.

Pavilion Table #141 Playing Like It's for Charity

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante

The players seated at Pavilion White #141 told PokerNews that seven of them busted from the Main Event earlier in the day, and the action among these Main Event casualties has certainly not disappointed.

On one recent hand, with the flop showing {5-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{9-Spades}, AJ Nimer went all on for his last 36,000 chips, getting a call from Chen Wang.

AJ Nimer: {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
Chen Wang: {x-}{x-}

Nimer had just ace-high with backdoor straight and flush possibilities on the flop, but the {5-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} runout gave him the the pair of aces on the river, doubling him up.

On the next hand, Wang three-bet to 2,000 on the button after an open for 600 from Scott Vener on the hijack. Vener checked on the flop of {j-Hearts}{6-Spades}{2-Spades}, Wang bet 1,500 and Vener check-raised to 6,000. Wang folded and Vener took it down.
