Doddapaneni Puts Kitai in the Blender

Kevin Martin opened in early position to 8,000 before Sriharsha Doddapaneni called from the cutoff and Davidi Kitai defended his big blind.

The 5♠3♦3♠ flop landed and the action checked to Doddapaneni who took the betting lead with a wager of 8,000. It was then on Kitai who only took a moment before putting in a check-raise to 22,000.

Martin folded but Doddapaneni put in the chips and the J♠ rolled off on the turn completing the flush. This didn't slow Kitai down as he put out another bet of 18,000. Doddapaneni called again.

The Q♠ hit the river and Kitai slowed down and checked. Doddapaneni sat in the tank for a moment but eventually he moved all in for his last 92,000.

Kitai looked to be in pain over the decision and mulled it over for close to three-minutes before his cards finally found the muck.

Doddapaneni smiled as he dragged the pot and Kitai made a joke about wanting to see the Doddapaneni's hand.
