Litvinov Doubles
Level 14
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Timothy Adams opened with a raise to 8,500 from the cutoff seat before Artem Litvinov reraised to 17,000 from the button. Action folded back to Adams, and he moved all in, having Litvinov covered.
Into the tank went Litvinov. Eventually, he pulled out a coin and flipped it in the air. Much of the table was watching and laughing, but Litvinov was all business. He caught the coin, looked at it, then readjusted himself in his chair as if he knew the money was going in. He paused first, though, looking as though he didn't want to fully obey the order of the coin. Then, he stuck his chips in.
Litvinov held the 
and was at risk for 95,800 total. Adams held the 
to make for another coin flip.
The flop gave Litvinov the lead with the 
. The 
on the turn left Adams needing a deuce on the river to bust Litvinov, but the 
wouldn't do it. Litvinov doubled, and the martial arts celebration began as only Litvinov is famous for.
Litvinov paced behind the table, shadowboxing and kicking the air while screaming and grunting a bit. He then returned to the table to collect his pot, having moved to nearly 200,000 in chips.

Kitai's Kicker Slightly Better Than Gregg's
Level 14
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

. Gregg led for 7,500, and Kitai called in position.
The turn was the 
, and Gregg fired 20,000. Kitai made another call to see the land on the river. Gregg checked, and Kitai checked behind.
Gregg showed the 
for two pair, aces and queens, with a jack kicker. Kitai had him slightly pipped with the 
for the same two pair, but holding a king kicker.

: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
