Event 38 Over! Kitai is Champion
1 year ago
It was just a matter of time until the shortstacked Chris Bell's luck ran out and that's exactly what we saw happen a few moments ago. To this point they had endured almost five hours of heads-up play and, towards the end, the table was virtually tilting in the direction of Davidi Kitai and his massive stack.
Bell managed a few double-ups but it was too little too late. On the final hand Bell raised the pot from the button and Kitai set him in. Bell made a quick call but saw his A
J
was in bad shape against A
Q
.
The board ran 7
6
3
T
4
and just like that Chris Bell was out in second and Davidi Kitai took the bracelet as well as the $244,546 first place cash. Bell pockets $155,806.

Event 38 - Final Table - More and More
1 year ago
Despite his serious lack of chips Chris Bell is making a valiant effort to get himself back in this match. The blinds are astronomical, leaving little room for maneuvering, but somehow Bell is still alive. Heads-up has gone well over 100 hands, which was the amount of time it took to eliminate every other player at the final table.
Bell is in desperate shape though, and his long run of doubles will have to run out at some point.
| Davidi Kitai | $2.15 million |
| Chris Bell | $300,000 |
The Bell Tolls for Thee
Chris Bell has doubled up again. The two players saw a flop of K
9
8
and Bell moved all-in. Kitai looked pained but made the call and tabled 9
4
for middle pair. Bell had him out-kicked with Q
9
and after the board finished A
5
he was good for the double. After that hand he was up to about $475,000.
