Nishijima Doubles Up
Level 15
: 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
Thiago Nishijima opened to 6,000 from the hijack and was three-bet by the player on the button to 13,500. Fabrice Halleux in the small blind then moved all-in for his remaining 73,200 chips. Nishijima made the call from the hijack and the remaining player folded.
Halleux: 
Nishijima: 
It was a classic aces vs kings hand, and Halleux didn't even have a suit to help him with any backdoor flushes. "King one time!" said the Belgian, but the board bricked 
and Nishijima earned an early double up
