Kanit Loses A Little

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

Action picked up on a flop reading {5-Hearts}{q-Spades}{j-Hearts} which was checked by Mustapha Kanit in the big blind. He then check-called a 3,000 bet from an early position player.

The turn came {4-Clubs} and once again Kanit check-called, this time a bet of 5,500.

The river of {j-Spades} checked through and the opponent showed {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts} which was good enough for the pot as Kanit mucked.
