Kagawa Gets a KO

Level 11 : 200/800, 1,600 ante

A player in late position opened to 4,000 with 22,000 behind, and Masa Kagawa reraised to 12,000. The remainder of the short stack's chips went in, and he was racing his {8-Spades} {8-Hearts} against Kagawa's {A-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds}.

"Come on, low cards," he pleaded, and the dealer obliged him with a clean {4-Spades} {3-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} flop.

"Low cards," he begged again, but this time the {A-Hearts} peeled off the deck to pull Kagawa into a big lead with one to come. The river {6-Clubs} was not the two-out salvation the shorty was looking for, and Kagawa has eliminated him to move to about 112,000.
