Although overused in the world of poker, the word 'sick' could be correctly applied to the following encounter as Davidi Kitai found himself all in with his tournament life hanging by the very thinnest of the threads.

With the board reading {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

{2-Clubs}

{10-Diamonds}

{3-Spades}

, Kitai slid his entire stack over the line with {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

{8-Hearts}

only to find himself hung, drawn and quartered by {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

{10-Hearts}

. But a stomach churningly cruel {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

on the river drew gasps a plenty from the rest of the table with cries of "sick" simmering through the cardroom as news of the day's first bad beat began to spread.
