Vitkind Ruing Table Draw

Level 33 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Dmitry Vitkind
Dmitry Vitkind

Arsenii Karmatckii in the small blind moved all in with {9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} to put Dmitry Vitkind in the big blind at risk for 4,300,000.

Vitkind took a quick look at their cards, picked up their big blind and tossed it in the direction of the chip leader, and folded their hand which was not picked up by the onscreen graphics.

The table draw was not kind for Vitkind and it is the second time in two orbits that Karmatckii has shoved on them in the big blind. Vitkind will need to make a move soon before their stack is depleted.
