Kitai Flops a Full House, Runs Into Quads
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Davidi Kitai was seen with just 1,400 chips after returning from the break with 68,900.
He later explained on social media that Michael Leib in the big blind ended up moving all in for roughly 50,000 on a board of A♥5♠5♥2♦J♦ with 35,200 already in the pot. Holding pocket aces, Kitai, who had bet 27,500 from the hijack, made the call.
Michael Leib: 5♦5♣
Davidi Kitai: A♠A♣
Kitai flopped a full house, but Leib made quads to secure a double-up. Despite the brutal beat, Kitai managed to rebuild his stack to 18,000.
