kumajiro Bad Beats Ryuichiro
Level 14
: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Right before the blinds went up, one of the largest preflop clashes of the tournament to date had Ryuichiro on the verge of potentially taking over the chip lead for this flight when kumajiro was at risk for more than 230,000.
kumajiro: A♦Q♥ 
Ryuichiro: A♣K♠
The inferior kicker paired up right away on the Q♣8♥8♠ flop and kumajiro remained ahead throughout the 4♣ turn as well as the 9♠ river to put a huge dagger into the stack of Ryuichiro.
