Kagawa Gets a KO
Level 11
: 200/800, 1,600 ante
A player in late position opened to 4,000 with 22,000 behind, and Masa Kagawa reraised to 12,000. The remainder of the short stack's chips went in, and he was racing his 
against Kagawa's 
.
"Come on, low cards," he pleaded, and the dealer obliged him with a clean 
flop.
"Low cards," he begged again, but this time the 
peeled off the deck to pull Kagawa into a big lead with one to come. The river 
was not the two-out salvation the shorty was looking for, and Kagawa has eliminated him to move to about 112,000.
