Davidi Kitai raised to 44,000 preflop before Dominik Panka reraised to 105,000 in position behind him. Kitai made the call to see a {9-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{6-Spades} flop.

The Belgian led out for 80,000 and Panka made the call. On the {Q-Spades} turn, Kitai fired again, this time to the tune of 165,000 but again his Polish opponent refused to go away.

The river was the {4-Spades}, Kitai rechecked his cards and then checked. Panka checked behind.

Kitai: {A-Spades}{J-Clubs}
Panka: {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}

A big pot gives the PCA Champion the chip lead.

Pańka Trap

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Dominik Pańka completed from the small blind and Albert Daher raised to 75,000 from the big blind. If Pańka had been laying a trap he sprang it now with a raise to 188,000. It took Daher a while to decide what he was going to do, or at least it seemed that way, and he eventually let the hand go.
