Kisacikoglu Left With Crumbs as Shimizu Doubles Up
Level 4
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Nozomu Shimizu raised to 3,000 from middle position, after which Orpen Kisacikoglu put in a three-bet to 9,000 from the hijack. The action folded back to Shimizu, who tanked for a bit before going all in for 63,500 chips.
Kisacikoglu snap called, putting Shimizu at risk for an early exit.
Nozomu Shimizu: A♣Q♠
Orpen Kisacikoglu: J♦J♣
THe 6♣2♥4♣ flop remained safe for Kisacikoglu, but the A♦ turn saw Shimizu hit top pair. No jack appeared on the 4♥ river, resulting in Shimizu's double-up.
Kisacikoglu, meanwhile, was left with just under ten big blinds to play with.
