The Curse is REAL
After being left short the previous hand, Kyle Kitagawa moved all in with his last 6,000 after a raise from Jeffrey Day. Both James Friesen and Day made the call to put him at risk and they went to a flop of 10♠8♣3♣.
Day then moved all in for an additional 13,000 and Friesen made the call to put him at risk as well and the cards were tabled.
Kyle Kitagawa: A♣2♣
Jeffrey Day: K♠K♣
James Friesen: 3♠4♠
Day was well in the lead with his pocket kings, but Kitagawa could still hit any ace or club to win.
"If I win this, the curse isn't real!" he declared to accursed tablemate Jeff Platt, who looked on with a sick look of enjoyment in his eyes as someone's tournament life was on the line.
Unfortunately, the board ran out Q♥9♣ for Day to scoop the pot and Kitagawa was sent to the rail.
