Hand #96: Davidi Kitai Wins a Pot Worth 2.18 Million

Kitai limps for 100,000, and Skripchenko checks. The flop comes [Qs9c5s], Skripchenko checks, Kitai bets 100,000, and Skripchenko calls. The turn card is the [6c], Skripchenko checks, Kitai bets 240,000, and Skripchenko thinks for nearly two minutes before she calls.

The river card pairs the board with the [9s], Skripchenko checks, Kitai bets 640,000, and Skripchenko calls rather quickly with [10s9d] (trip nines). But Kitai turns over [8h7c] to win the pot with a nine-high straight.
