Keita Kitamura

Catching the action with two players all in - Carmen Esdaile and Keita Kitamura - with Shinnosuke Arima tank-folding Q♦ Q♠ .

Board:A♥9♥3♣Q♥K♥

After seeing the hands, Arima was in disbelief. Esdaile's big slick jumped ahead on the turn, but Kitamura was saved when four hearts were felted for a flush. Arima's would have lost.
