Hideki Flexes Stack
Level 4
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Japan’s Sahashi Hideki is flexing his big stack and has just used it like a club to beat tablemates Andrew An and Phachara Wongwichit into submission. Hideki was the initial aggressor, making it 4,600 to go from the hi-jack and he picked up several callers with An (button), Choon Tong Siow (small blind) and Wongwichit (big blind) all making the call to take the action four-way to a flop of 
.
Both blinds checked the action over to the Hideki, who fired for 12,000 with An and Wongwichit making the call and Siow bowing out, taking the action three-way to the 
turn.
Wongwichit checked again and Hideki bet big, splashing out 35,000 in blue 5,000 chips, which was enough to deter both opponents.
