Ace High For Nozomu
Level 6
: Limits 1,000/2,000, 0 ante
Quite new in the field, Shimizu Nozomu raised it up from under the gun and was only called by Moshe Gavrieli in the small blind.
On the flop 8♣Q♦5♥, Nozomu continued betting. But Gavrieli didn't give up. Then, the 9♦ came on the turn, but the action slowed down at this point as both players checked.
And when the river 4♦ appeared on the table, Gavrieli took the lead. Nozomu waited a few seconds to check his cards and think about his decision, and called with A♠K♣.
Gavrieli had 10♠7♠ for a missed straight draw and left the pot to Nozomu, who is looking for a third WSOP final table this summer.
