Kiletto Can’t Call

Level 7
Blinds: 250/500
Ante: 50

Lily Kiletto opened to 1,500 in early position. Three players called to see a KdQd9h flop where Kiletto continued for 3,400. The player in middle position folded, the player in the cutoff raised to 10,000, and the big blind check-folded. Kiletto called after a few moments, landing the Qs on the turn. A check from Kiletto led to her opponent shoving for 18,150. Kiletto went deep into the tank, eventually having the clock called after about three minutes. In the end, she opted to let the time run out and her hand was dead.

Lily Kiletto – 35,000 (70 bb)
