With the flop reading 
, Davidi Kitai was at risk against a calling opponent. The hands looked like this:
Showdown
Kitai: 
Opponent: 
Kitai's flopped full house had him ahead. The 
on the turn was a brick and the 
on the river unnecessarily improved his full house, doubling him to 9,350 chips.
Carlos Mortensen must either struggle with boredom or have developed obsessive compulsive tendencies, as whenever I pass his table, he'll be meticulously constructing some complex structure with his chips, and I'll never forget witnessing his stacking skills in action at the 2007 WPT Grand Final. Personally, mine topple over if I even try anything fancy, yet I'm sure if you asked Mortensen to build the Eiffel Tower he'd have it on display within five minutes.
Today, however, Mortensen just couldn't get off the ground, and never garnered enough chips to delight us with his architectural expertise. With the blinds at 75 and 150, Mortensen limped under the gun, a move which was echoed by two others, as well as the two blinds. On the flop, he led for 750 - leaving himself just 1,400 behind - and was called by the button. The small blind folded, but the big blind raised the pot. Mortensen called all-in, and, after a brief tank, the button put the big blind in for his circa 10,000.
"Give me an eight," demanded the Spaniard as the hands were revealed:
Mortensen: 
button: 
big blind: 
But Mortensen's request fell on stoney ground, the 
turn and 
river awarding the button and big blind a bisected pot, and Mortensen the door.
Level: 6
Blinds: 100/200

On the flop, Soulier continuation bet for 950, but was raised by the button who moved all in. Soulier made the fold.
