Kagawa Forces Full House to Fold

We just caught a hand where high-stakes player Masaaki Kagawa was able to capture a huge pot after forcing his opponent to lay down a monster hand.

The flop was {K-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{2-Hearts} and Kagawa had raised his opponent's bet to 3,800 to go. His opponent called and they saw the {Q-Spades} hit the turn. Kagawa's opponent again led out with a bet of 4,000 and this time Kagawa just flat-called.

The river landed the {A-Diamonds} and it was checked to Kagawa, who swiftly moved all in sending his opponent into the tank. It was 16,275 to call but after several minutes of thought he decided to let it go, folding pocket deuces face-up! Kagawa got the full house to fold to collect a nice pot and is now up to 38,000 chips.
