Kono Cannot Win With Big Slick

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Reiji Kono
Reiji Kono

Reiji Kono opened to 1,600 in middle position. Benedikt Wenzel flat-called on the button, after which Tom Shaham squeezed in a three-bet to 6,000 from the small blind.

Kono quickly moved all in for 15,600, folding out Wenzel. Shaham immediately called to force a showdown.

Reiji Kono: AK All in
Tom Shaham: AQ

Kono looked to be in great shape to get back above starting stack, but Shaham paired up on the 74Q flop to take the lead.

The J turn gave Kono a gutshot in addition to his flopped flush draw, but the Q river improved Shaham to trips to set Kono's elimination in stone.
