Majed Makes A Hero Call
Action was caught on a board K♠10♦9♦3♠6♣ when Jon Kyte bet 740,000 on the river, more than Majed's stack, who was in the tank.
According to Majed after the hand, he opened to 30,000 from the cutoff, and Kyte three-bet in the small blind. Majed decided to four-bet to 220,000, and he received a call.
On the flop, Majed bet another 120,000, and Kyte check-called. Then, on the turn, both players checked.
Back to the river, Majed was struggling to make a decision. He took a couple of minutes to think, and he decided to put himself at risk by calling.
Jon Kyte: 7♠7♦
Rene Majed: A♠10♣
Majed took a deep breath of relief when he discovered Kyte's hand and flipped the winning hand. His tablemates like Dario Sammartino congratulated him by tapping the table. Then Majed stood up to release the pressure and sat down again to stack his 2,100,000 chips.
