Kyte, Helou Tangle Twice
Level 27
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Jon Kyte raised to 130,000 in the cutoff as action folded to Mark Helou in the big blind. "Heads up," Helou asked.
"No, you, me, and the dealer. The three of us," Kyte joked. Helou called and the flop came Q♦3♥K♣. Kyte bet 120,000 and Helou called.
Both players checked down the 8♣ turn and 6♦ river as Helou showed Q♥J♣ to win the pot with a pair of queens.
Kyte then raised to 130,000 under the gun and Helou called in the small blind. "Queen-jack again? Let's see if you get lucky again," Kyte said heading to the A♥2♠A♦ flop.
Kyte bet 100,000. "If you have a pair you win. King-queen suited. I don't have the stack to three-bet," Helou said, giving up his hand.
