Kihara Cut Down

MrCleverFox

Level 2 : 25/50, 0 ante

The one and only Japanese native bracelet winner has been cut down after taking a huge hit from another player at his table.

We caught up to the action on the turn with the board reading . Kihara checked, and his opponent on the button bet 750, which Kihara called.

The river was the and once again Kihara checked. His opponent bet 900 and after a moment of thought, Kihara announced a raise, and put enough chips in to cover his opponent. The man quickly called and turned over for two pair, which was better than Kihara's for a weaker two pair.
