Numoto Wins Race to Send One Out
Level 4
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
A player in early position raised to 1,300 and Scott Numoto three-bet to 4,000 from the hijack. Action folded back to the initial raiser, who made it 15,000 to go. Numoto instantly put out a stack of chips to put his opponent all in for slightly more and he called off.
Early-position player: A♥K♥
Scott Numoto: J♠J♦
It was a coinflip, but the J♥K♠Q♣ flop improved Numoto to a set and a commanding lead.
The 6♣ turn and 3♣ river kept Numoto best and he collected the rest of his opponent's chips.
