In two hands, Belgium's Triple Crown winner Davidi Kitai surged from short stack to above average, eliminating Scotland's Niall Farrell in the process.

Hand 2
In the next hand, Kitai opened to 55,000 and Farrell called all in for 35,000. Steve O'Dwyer three-bet to 170,000. Kitai took a while before four-bet shoving all in for 596,000. O'Dwyer gave it a quick thought, then called off the remainder of Kitai's stack, putting the Belgian once again at risk.
