Kitai Crippled by Urbanovich
Level 15
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Just before the break, Dzmitry Urbanovich opened for 8,500 from the hijack only to have Davidi Kitai three-bet to 20,500 from the button. The blinds both folded, Urbanovich four-bet to 46,000, and Kitai called to see a flop of 
.
Urbanovich led out for roughly 40,000, and then snap-called off for 138,100 total when Kitai, who didn't have much more than that, moved all in.
Urbanovich: 
Kitai: 
Kitai flopped an open-ended straight draw, but Urbanovich killed two of his outs with pocket rockets. Neither the 
turn nor 
river helped Kitai, and he was left with just 6,000 after the hand.
Kitai managed to triple up a few hands later, but he is still sitting on the short stack.
