Ho Takes From Kitai in Blind Versus Blind Confrontation

Livello 37 : 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

Action folded to Maria Ho in the small blind who raised to 3,000,000 with the A♥J♦. Davidi Kitai looked down at A♣8♦ in the big blind and decided to make the call to see the flop come 2♣A♠3♠.

Ho paused briefly before reaching for chips and continuing with a bet of 2,200,000. Kitai made the call to see the turn bring the Q♣.

Ho paused again before deciding to bet out again in the amount of 8,500,000. Kitai entered the tank for over a full three minutes until a clock was eventually called.

The tournament direct counted down Kitai's hand as he continued to woek through the spot, but the countdown expired and killed his hand before he made a decision and the pot was pushed in Ho's direction.
