[user40108]

Davidi Kitai

Davidi Kitai moved all in for roughly 355,000. Action folded around to Jason Mercier on the button and he announced "all in" as well. The blinds got out of the way and the players showed:

Mercier: {A-?}

{A-?}

{K-?}

Kitai:

{9-?}

{9-?}

The flop was dramatic, falling {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{9-Clubs}

{8-Hearts}

. Mercier hit top pair but was drawing thin. The {2-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

on the turn meant the pot belonged to Kitai and the river {5-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

was a mere formality.

Kitai doubled up to 775,000 on the hand, leaving Mercier with 894,000 chips.
