Okamura Avoids Complete Disaster in Cooler
Level 3
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Enrico Camosci opened 3,000 in the hijack, and Toni Kaukua called before Motoyoshi Okamura three-bet 11,000 on the button. Camosci folded, and Kaukua called.
The dealer fanned a flop of J♦J♣8♠, and Kaukua check-called a bet of 7,000.
The 3♦ turn was checked through to see the 2♣ river. Kaukua led for 50,000, and Okamura only took a few seconds to call.
Kaukua tabled A♦J♥, for trip jacks, ace-kicker, pipping Okamura's K♥J♠.
"Wow, you checked the turn," said tablemate Fahredin Mustafov.
