A fascinating dynamic between Davidi Kitai and Albert Daher is developing. Kitai raised to 44,000 preflop from middle position and Albert Daher responded on the button with a three-bet to 112,000. Kitai came back over the top with a four-bet to 288,000 and after a think, Daher gave it up.
The very next hand saw Kitai open to 44,000, again Daher three-bet to 112,000 - this time from the small blind but once again Kitai four-bet to 288,000!
"You again huh?" said Daher with a wry smile. The Lebanese chip leader asked for a count of Kitai's stack, then, seemingly satisfied, gave up the pot.
This one isn't over...
