Mustapha Kanit
Mustapha Kanit

Jonathan Jaffe opened to 175,000 in the cutoff and Mustapha Kanit stuck in a three-bet to 630,000 from the small blind. The action was back on Jaffe who called to see a flop of {q-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{6-Spades}.

Kanit continued with a bet of 340,000 only to have Jaffe shove all in. Kanit paused for a moment and then made the call for the rest of his 2,040,000 chips.

Jaffe turned over {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for top pair and Kanit held {a-Spades}{k-Hearts} for two over cards and straight draw. The turn brought the {9-Clubs} which reduced some of Kanit's outs and the {4-Hearts} on the river bricked out, eliminating Kanit in fifth place.
