Cit Doubles; King Builds Stack
"Show the king!" Wolfgang Simperl said while the board was rushed away and the pot shipped to table neighbor Andrew King. The Irishman replied "I would show if I had the king," to which Simperl replied "I had pocket jacks."
While King approaches one million in chips soon after starting with only 340,000, it was Gerhard Cit that broke through the elusive waypoint and help himself above starting stack.
In a battle of the blinds, Cit and the big blind got into a raising war on the 
turn. There had been no betting action on the flop before the big blind Cit had check-raised from 80,000 to 220,000 on the turn. The big blind moved all in and Cit called it off for his last 534,000.
"I have a set," the big blind joked and showed a five. Cit replied "Don't do this to me" and turned over his 
for top pair, while the big blind sheepishly revealed 
for bottom pair only. The 
river was a blank and Cit doubled.
