Kita Rockets Up the Counts
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Yuya Kita opened to 55,000 from under the gun and Mark Tarich called from the big blind.
They both saw a flop of 4♥6♥Q♠ which Tarich led out on for 200,000. Kita was in the tank for a while but decided to commit the rest of his stack, and Tarich put him at risk.
Yuya Kita: A♦A♠ 
Mark Tarich: K♣Q♦
Kita was in the lead and stood up as he awaited the runout. The dealer put out a 5♠ turn and a 9♣ river which kept the pocket aces of Kita in the lead to land him a double-up.
