[user75032]

It's a setback for Jonathan Little. His stack is more than half a million chips shorter after an encounter with new chip leader Uri Keidar.

Little opened preflop to 70,000 and was forced to play the hand out of position when Keidar called from the button. Little led out for 100,000 on a flop of {4-Spades}

. Keidar called behind to the {9-Spades}

turn. Little showed no fear in firing out another 175,000. Again Keidar called.

When the river came {K-Hearts}

Little opted to slow down. He checked, inducing Keiter to make a 175,000-chip bet of his own. After confirming the amount, Little tossed in a call. Keidar showed him the nuts, {A-Spades}
