Davidi Kitai
Davidi Kitai

Nikolay Losev and Davidi Kitai seem determined to battle it out in these early stages of the bubble.
Losev opened for 13,000 and from the cut-off Kitai three bet him to 33,000. The blinds folded and the two players saw a flop of {4-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}. Losev checked and Kitai be 24,000 which Losev called. They saw a turn card {5-Diamonds} which both players checked and then on the river card {3-Diamonds} Losev checked his cards and bet 20,000. Kitai pushed out a tower of T5000 chips for a bet of 100,000. Losev threw his hand away.

A few hands later Kitai, who has been slightly the most active player at the table, opened for 13,000 under-the-gun and Losev defended from the big blind. The saw a flop of {2-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}. Losev checked and when Kitai bet 16,000 he check raised him to 40,000. Now it was Kitai who threw his hand away.

Martin Schleich
Martin Schleich

As he has been doing quite frequently, Davidi Kitai opened for 13,000 and this time Martin Schleich defended from the big blind. The flop was {4-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}. Schleich checked and called a bet of 15,000 from Kitai. The turn card was the {2-Diamonds} and now Schleich check called a bet of 28,000. The river card was the {q-Diamonds}. Once more Schleich checked and again Kitai continued betting, now for 22,000. Schleich slid out a tower of chips for a check raise to 106,000. Kitai whipped off his sunglasses in surprise and studied his opponent. Perhaps a minute passed before he decided to make the call. Schleich revealed his {a-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} nut flush hand and won the pot.

Agerskov Doubles on the Bubble

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Under the gun Martin Schleich opened with a min raise to 16,000. Right next to him sat Rasmus Agerskov who was getting shorter and shorter. He shoved all in for his last 57,000 and after all other players folded, action was back on EPT Barcelona winner Schleich.

Schleich made the call and turned over {A-Clubs}{9-Spades}. Agerskov had the perfect hand to take ace-nine to battle; {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}.

The {10-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{J-Hearts} flop gave Schleich some outs but the {5-Diamonds} on the turn and {10-Diamonds} on the river both missed him.

Hand for hand play continues!

More For Daher

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Albert Daher has gone from being at risk of elimination to one of the chip leaders in short order.

He opened to 16,000 from under-the-gun+1 and Davidi Kitai flat called on the button. Daher then fired three barrels on the {A-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} board, Kitai called bets of 16,000, 30,000 and 87,000 respectively but mucked when Daher showed {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}. After that hand Daher is up 650,000 whilst Kitai is down to 575,000
