Silverman Doubles Through Kitai

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

Davidi Kitai opened the preflop betting round with a raise to 850 from middle position. To his immediate left was Steven Silverman who three-bet all in for 4,250 in total. The action passed back around to Kitai who counted out the chips required to call, took a few glances at Silverman and called.

Silverman: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}
Kitai: {A-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}

Silverman's ladies were the best hand, but he would have to avoid an ace on the board otherwise his tournament would be over. Silverman did avoid an ace as the board ran out {3-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}. Silverman now has 9,000 chips.
