Kanitar Figures it Out
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Ashutosh Kanitkar raised on the button to 2,000 and met resistance in the form of a Junya Yamaguchi three-bet in the small blind. Yamaguchi had made it 7,000, and Kanitkar made the call.
On a 2♣J♥K♦ flop, Yamaguchi continued for 7,000, and again, Kanitkar called.
Both players checked the 6♠ turn before Yamaguchi fired one last bet into the middle on the 2♦ river.
Kanitkar took a moment but ultimately decided to call. Yamaguchi showed A♥5♣, which was no good versus Kanitkar's A♣J♠.
