Shih Finishes Off Tomita
Level 21
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Tetsuro Tomita moved all-in for 68,000 in the cutoff and Kenny Shih called on the button.
Tetsuro Tomita: A♦2♦
Kenny Shih: K♠Q♥
Tomita was happy to be ahead while Shih grinned and suggested "straight, maybe?"
The K♦Q♠10♥ flop gave Shih two pair and joked "no straight, abort ... abort". Nothing changed with the 5♣ turn and 7♣ river to knock out Tomita as both players shook hands.
Day 1a chip leader Oleg Kaminski followed alongside Jeoffrey Sibal.
