Bitton Bites the Dust
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Ofir Bitton shoved in his stack of 57,000 from early position and Dani Rashed three-bet to 150,000 to isolate in middle position. Everybody else folded, leaving the pair heads up.
Ofir Bitton: 8♥8♦ 
Dani Rashed: A♥K♠
Bitton was ahead with his eights, but needed to fade four more outs after the 10♣9♠J♥ flop gave Rashed a gutshot. A K♥ on the turn propelled Rashed into the lead with a pair of kings, which left Bitton needing an eight only.
Instead, the Q♣ on the river put a straight on board, but Rashed was holding the ace to make a bigger straight, which eliminated Bitton.
