Hayato Kitajima

Hayato Kitajima raised and Haneul Kim three-bet to 60,000. Kitajima made it 125,000 to go and from there on, they got the chips into the middle as Kim snap-called against a shove behind.

Haneul Kim: K ♥️ K ♣️

Hayato Kitajima: Q ♥️ Q ♦️

The inferior pocket pair got there again on the 10 ♠️ 7 ♠️ 3 ♥️ Q ♠️ 4 ♣️ board and Kim was sent to the rail.

"Lucky lucky," Kitajima replied to Chun Yin Lau who had glanced at him after being as fortunate only a few minutes ago.
