Akira and Shinya Near the Top
Level 4
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Three ways to the 5♦3♠2♥K♣ turn with around 25,000 in the middle, both Akira in the small blind and the player under the gun checked. CHENG on the button bet 13,500 and Akira then check-raised all-in with a large stack. The under-the-gun player called all-in for 15,400 and CHENG talked through the options, feating a wheel or set before folding K♦3♦ face-up.
Under the gun: K♠4♠
Akira: 6♣4♣
The player at risk needed a six to chop and the A♠ river was a blank. Akira joined Shinya with a six-figure stack.
