The under-the-gun player raised and got called by a player in late position and Kyle Kitagawa in the big blind.

The flop came down 6♠10♥2♥ and Kitagawa checked. The under-the-gun player put a bet out and saw the player in late position call before Kitagawa stuck in a raise which was called by both opponents prompting the dealer to burn and turn the A♥.

Kitagawa checked again before he and the late position player both called a bet from the under-the-gun player and all three went to a 2♠ river.

Kitagawa checked once more and faced another bet from the under-the-gun player. The late position player put in the call before Kitagawa tossed out a raise. Under the gun called and the late position player tossed his cards toward the muck.

Kitagawa showed the 10♣2♣ for deuces full to take down a massive pot and chip up in big way.

With the passing of Doyle Brunson just a few short weeks before the start of the 2023 World Series of Poker, we knew we'd see players looking to pay tribute to his legacy and Kyle Kitagawa did just that.
