Heitmann Recovering
Just before the break we witnessed a fine recovery for Jan Heitmann.
The board read when we arrived and Davidi Kitai was betting out 3,300. A second player in mid position called, as did Jan Heitmann in late position.
The river was the and this time it checked around to Heitmann, who silently pushed his whole stack across the line - just shy of 10,000.
Kitai looked pained. He had 10,600 left to his name, and he began an epic dwell-up, shaking his head and after a while apparently having some trouble breathing. He tanked up for so long that the TV guy holding the boom mic, who we assume is used to holding that up for long periods, got tired and had to readjust. Still he tanked.
Eventually Kitai folded and the action moved on to the second player. He grinned and asked how much it was, but after a short while he folded too.
Heitmann moved back up to 23,000.
