Plausinaitis Downs Kashiwabara

Calum Grant

Level 6 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Masato Kashiwabara was first to act and moved all in for 31,500. Action folded to Paulius Plausinaitis in the big blind and he called after peeking at his cards.

Masato Kashiwabara: Q♠J♥
Paulius Plausinaitis: A♠8♠

Kashiwabara was behind and had fewer outs after the K♠2♠5♣ flop. The A♣ turn left him drawing to Broadway, but the 7♥ river confirmed his departure instead.

The river was the K♣ and Toma bet 36,000. Toan quickly called and Toma showed A♦K♥ for two pair. Toan, though, showed Q♦10♦ for a rivered straight.

Robbie Toan raised to 4,000 under the gun, then called when Ognyan Dimov moved all in for 40,000 on the button.

Ognyan Dimov: A♦8♦
Robbie Toan: 10♠10♥

Dimov was looking for an ace to stay alive but couldn't find any help on the 6♦6♥5♠2♠3♠ board as he was sent to the rail.

A few hands earlier, Toan and Tsugunari Toma tangled in a big pot that saw Toma bet 10,000 on a flop of 9♦J♠Q♠. Toan called on the button and the turn was the 5♥.

Toma checked to Toan who bet 17,000. Toma then moved all in and Toan, with around 140,000 remaining, folded.
