Kihara Gets Julia to Fold

Level 2 : 500/1,500, 1,500 ante

Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo

Naoya Kihara: {x-}{x-} / {5-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} / {x-}
Nicholas Julia: {x-}{x-} / {3-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{j-Spades} / {x-}

Naoya Kihara was spotted betting the lead as of fourth street and then bet again fifth for Nicholas Julia to call. When Kihara paired his ten on sixth street, he bet once more and a curious Julia quickly called. The final bet on seventh street then won the pot uncontested for Kihara, as Julia tossed his cards into the muck.
