Remko Rinkema

Hirotoshi Nakabo raised under the gun to 4,400 and the action folded to Mick Min who three-bet to 11,000. The action folded back to Nakabo who tanked for quite some time before making it 27,500. Min moved all in for 51,000 and Nakabo put in the call.

Nakabo:
Min:

The board ran out and Min's pair of queens held up. Min, who qualified for this tournament in a live satellite at the Walker Hill casino, is back in the game with more than the average stack.

Level 12 : 900/1,800, 300 ante

We rushed over to Table 8 after hearing a big cheer.

When we arrived we saw Genki Nakano all in for 103,000 holding on a board. The Japanese player had rivered quad queens against Germany’s Patrick Weifels Broadway straight.

All the money went in on the turn after an exchange of raises with Nakano getting lucky on the river to see him rocket up the chip counts.
