Hidenari Shiono

Hidenari Shiono was the runner-up for APPT Seoul. He's hoping to improve upon that finish with a championship here in Manila this weekend, but right now the poker gods aren't cooperating. He led the betting on all streets against one opponent -- until the river. With the board showing {2-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

{10-Spades}

{J-Spades}

{8-Hearts}

{3-Spades}

, Shiono finally checked. His opponent bet 1,200, just less than the size of the pot. Shiono peeked back at his cards one time before disappointedly surrendering them to the dealer.
