Davidi Kitai Finally Makes His Move
After Karim Zerzour limped from the hijack, Davidi Kitai, who has been nursing an extreme short stack for awhile, moved all in for 6,500 from the button. Venezuela's Luis Perez then three-bet to 14,500 from the small blind and Zerzour folded.
"You're ahead," Perez said.
"No," Kitai said with little confidence, though as it turned out he was wrong.
Kitai: 
Perez: 
Kitai was in fact out in front, and he hit the 
flop hard by making a flush. Perez was drawing to a chop, which would require two running diamonds bigger than those in Kitai's hand.
The 
turn took away any chance of that happening and Kitai more than double after the 
was put out on the river. Kitai then gave Perez a little fist bump as a way of thanking him for the preflop protection.
Meanwhile, Andrew Chen was eliminated from the featured table.
