Bartha and Tanaka Double; Bitton Trends Downward
Nadav Bitton has had a tough level as he lost two pots to double up to different players.
The first hand occurred when Bitton raised to 240,000 from the hijack and faced an all-in from Liviu-Rodrig Bartha in the big blind for 595,000. Bitton called to put Bartha at risk.
Liviu-Rodrig Bartha: A♦4♠
Nadav Bitton: A♥9♣
Bartha was in dire straits with the inferior ace, but the flop was a welcome sight for Bartha as it came 4♥2♥A♣.
The J♣ turn did not change much, and the A♠ river improved Bartha to a full house.
The second hand took place when Bitton raised to 240,000 from middle position and faced the all-in of Kei Tanaka on the button. Bitton called.
Kei Tanaka: A♠K♣
Nadav Bitton: 7♥6♥
Tanaka hit the flop when it came A♥4♦6♦, but Bitton was still in the hunt as he hit a pair of sixes.
The 9♦ turn and the Q♥ river ended the hand to award Tanaka the double.
