Kitai and the Power of Queen-Six

Level 20 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

On the button, Davidi Kitai glanced at his cards and took until five seconds were left on the shot clock to announce all in. Nick Petrangelo folded in the small blind and Jack Salter in the big blind looked at his cards. "Was this the first time you checked the cards?" Salter asked and eventually called with a few seconds left on his own clock.

Davidi Kitai: {K-Hearts}{J-Spades}
Jack Salter: {Q-Hearts}{6-Spades}

Kitai had staged a big comeback from just over two big blinds with exactly that queen-six, tripling up and doubling up in quick succession. However, that hand would not work against him, as the board came out {10-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{3-Spades}{5-Diamonds} to let the Belgian double.

Soon after, Petrangelo shoved twice and got through. In the second hand, he flashed the {J-Diamonds} and pointed to Salter with the words "just for you."
