Shoichi Fires, Fires, and Fires Again

After Piotr Gruszczynski limped into the pot from the under-the-gun position, Matsukawa Shoichi raised the price of poker to 4,000. All players folded back to Gruszczynski, who seemed nervous but made the call. He checked the {4-Clubs}

flop over to Shoichi, who bet 4,000. Gruszczynski again nervously called.

Both players checked the turn, which was the {Q-Hearts}

. On a harmless-looking {2-Spades}

river, Gruszczynski took a stab the pot with a bet of 5,000. Shoichi eyed Gruszczynski's stack for 20 seconds before confidently announcing a raise to 10,000. Gruszczynski, with only 14,000 chips left in his stack, sighed and folded.

Shoichi now has 60,000.
