Hand #83 - von Halle

Another cheap board that boasts more checks than a box of trail mix.

{K-Spades}{3-Clubs}{A-Spades}{J-Spades}{10-Hearts}

... but the ace on the flop and potential straight filler on the river slowed down the action, Jan von Halle showing K-5 to take the pot from Chris Bell.

Hand #82 - Bell

It folds around to Kitai in the small blind, who limps. Bell checks in the big blind and they see a flop.

Flop: {5-Clubs} {J-Spades} {A-Spades}

Kitai checks over to Bell, who bets 40,000. Kitai folds, and Bell shows {3-Spades} {5-Spades} for bottom pair and a flush draw.

Hand #75 - Kitai

Davidi Kitai
Davidi Kitai
Davidi Kitai raises to 70,000 preflop. Jan von Halle makes the call.

{10-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{K-Clubs}

Both players check.

Turn = {4-Diamonds}

Jan von Halle leads out for 60,000.

Kitai counts our a line or orange chips and appears to be braced for action...

The Belgian flat-calls.

River = {K-Diamonds}

Jan von Halle checks, but Kitai is less accommodating, shoving 100,000 across the line.

Jan von Halle pauses - does he think Kitai is bluffing?...

It appears so, he calls!

However, Kitai shows {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} for the rivered flush to take a vital pot.
