Kite is One of the WSOP's Colorful Characters

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

Walan Kite, one of the more engaging and entertaining personalities in attendance throughout the 2019 WSOP, has made his way into the mix in the Little One for One Drop. Kite is looking for his fifth cash of this year's series, with his best showing of the summer coming in $1,000 Seniors Championship. He finished 172nd in that event for $3,758 and has been a staple at this year's WSOP throughout the enitre summer.

Kite told PokerNews about his untimely exit from the Main Event yesterday, in which most of his stack was lost when his {a-Hearts}{a-Spades} was cracked by Jean-Robert Bellande's {9-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} on a {5-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} runout. The turn brought in the two pair for Bellande, who min-raised Kite's bet and ended up leaving Kite with just 9,000 after the fallout.

Kite commented today that Bellande is one of only two players he would call the turn raise on in that situation, with the other being Mark Kroon.

Kite is currently sitting on 50,000 chips in Event #75.
