: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Davidi Kitai just added another tower to his impressive castle of chips in a hand against Russian Sergey Sergeev.
Preflop Kitai raised to 20,000 from the hijack, and only Sergeev on the button called. Both palyers checked the 
flop.
At the 
turn, Kitai opted for the delayed continuation-bet of 18,000, but Sergeev wasn't parting yet and made the call. Kitai fired another bullet on the 
river, this time of 36,000, and Sergeev called again.
Kitai's flopped straight draw 
had improved to two pair on the river, sufficient to scoop the pot.
