Okada Gets Lucky

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Hoa Thinh Nguyen raised to 3,500 and Lester Edoc three-bet to 10,500 on the button before Konstantin Pogodin four-bet all in out of the big blind. The shove of the Russian was for 31,400 and that forced two folds.

Yo Seb Rhee's third time was not a charm, as he was eliminated by Linh Tran while Ken Okada was at risk and escaped from the same fate in spectacular fashion.

Okada was all in for 24,200 with the {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} and Simon Burns looked him up with the {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}. A rather ordinary coin flip took a dramatic run out on a board of {K-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{J-Hearts}{J-Clubs} to see Okada double up with the better full house.
