Kitai Gets Short and Busts
Level 25
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Davidi Kitai raised to 225,000 in middle position, leaving himself with just under 300,000 behind. Joe Ghio just called from the big blind and they saw a flop of A♣9♣5♥. Ghio checked to Kitai who splashed in his last few chips before Ghio snapped him off.
Davidi Kitai: J♠10♠
Joe Ghio: A♠7♥
Ghio flopped a pair of aces which left Kitai drawing extremely slim. The K♣ on the turn gave him a straight draw but the 9♦ bricked out on the river and Kitai exited the room.
