Shih Doubles Through Tomita
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Out of the small blind, Tetsuro Tomita raised to 36,000. Kenny Shih three-bet to 125,000 and snap-called all-in when Tomita pushed.
Kenny Shih: J♦J♠
Tetsuro Tomita: K♠Q♠
The pocket pair remained ahead on the 10♣9♣7♦10♥3♠ runout as Shih doubled for 324,000.
"No more four-betting, I am not folding," Shih joked to Archie Mariano.
A new "old" player then arrived who had been balanced away, having missed just one hand as the field was down to the last nine tables.
