Kitai Wins Crucial Coinflip

David Kitai

Forget a knife, it'd take a machete to slice through this tension, and no more so than just moments ago when David Kitai found himself all in for his tournament life.

Down to just 63,000 with the blinds at 6,000 and 12,000, Kitai was searching for a spot to push, and when he found himself under-the-gun with {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}, he duly moved his stack across the line.

Perhaps with a slight sigh of resignation, Benjamin Zamani came across a hand on the button and made the call, praying that the next encounter would be the last of the day.

As Zamani revealed his {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}, Kitai rose from his seat and mumbled "One Time", oddly refraining from chanting "Un Fois" in his own language.

The flop was a good one for the Belgian, the {2-Hearts}{5-Spades}{A-Hearts} giving him the lead with top pair. A harmless {5-Clubs} turn and {K-Spades} later and the pot was his. Whilst Kitai charged away from the table to celebrate with his friend on the rail, a meek Zamani 's shoulders dropped to the floor as he was given back 2,000 in change.

The bubble looms...
