Level 32 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Davidi Kitai
Davidi Kitai

Earlier Davidi Kitai doubled when his ace-queen held up against the king-nine of Antoine Fontaine. Unfortunately for the Belgian Winamax Team Pro, he has now been eliminated after his {j-}{j-} fell short against the {a-}{q-}.

This is Kitai's fourth Winamax Poker Open cash in a row and his fifth in total.

Kitai Doubles Up as Fellow Team Pro Delmas Soars

Level 31 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Davidi Kitai moved all in for 140,000 from under the gun and was called by Antoine Fontaine in the big blind.

Davidi Kitai: {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Antoine Fontaine: {k-Spades}{9-Clubs}

The board ran out {10-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{6-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and after a brief panic, Kitai hit his aces to double up.

Meanwhile, fellow Winamax Team Pros Kanit and Delmas are doing well, with Delmas up to around three million in chips.

Moundir Zoughari opened to 75,000 with blinds at 15,000/35,000. Stephane Hanken then put out a small three-bet to 185,000.

The action folded back to Zoughari who moved all in for 2,485,000 or 71 big blinds. Hanken, incredibly, called!

Moundir Zoughari: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}
Stephane Hanken: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}

There was no help on the {7-Spades}{8-Clubs}{8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} runout with Hanken sent to the rail after a pot approaching five million chips.

Winamax Team Pro Davidi Kitai was at his table:
