Kita Doubles Through Arieh
Level 18
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Josh Arieh raised to 20,000 in middle position, it folded to Yuya Kita in the cutoff, who three-bet to 60,000 leaving 9,000 chips behind. When it folded back to Arieh, he elected to put Kita all in, which Kita called.
Yuya Kita: A♥K♦ 
Josh Arieh K♠5♠
Kita was in great shape for the double, and the A♣Q♥9♣ left Arieh needing running cards to find the knockout. The 3♣ on the turn left Arieh drawing dead, as the 9♥ completed the board, to give Kita the double up.
