Kitai Down to His Last Couple Lives

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

In early position, Davidi Kitai opened to 850, and Mihails Morozovs three-bet to 2,175. In the small blind, Senol Karahasan gave a deep stare and cold-called, and Kitai also called the raise to go three-handed to the flop.

It came {10-Spades} {6-Clubs} {3-Spades}, and the three men checked around to the {Q-Clubs} turn. Karahasan took the lead now with 2,400 of his own chips, but Kitai rather quickly raised to 6,800 total. That folded Morozovs without too much trouble, but Karahasan would spend the next couple minutes in the think tank. Finally, Kitai looked up and spoke to him: "I show you."

Just a few seconds after that remark, Karahasan reraised all in with the covering stack, and Kitai instantly released his cards into the muck. He's been reduced down around 12,000 now after dropping about 40% of his chips on that hand.
