Level 14
: 1,200/2,400, 300 ante
When we arrived at the table, Walter Blattler was all in, and Davidi Kitai had called him. This was problematic however, because Tim Piet Ulrich had yet to act before Kitai called.
The floor was motioned over, and the floor person rulled that Kitai's call would stand if Ulrich didn't re-open the action. Ulrich decided to fold, later saying that he had two eights.
Kitai: 
Blattler: 
The queens held as the board ran out 
, and Blatter was eliminated.
"You saved my tournament," Ulrich told Kitai, smiling. "When I win, I will remember this."
