Nakai Takes the Lead
Level 23
: Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Isaac Haxton opened to 350,000 with Q♠J♠ from early position and was called by Ryuta Nakai in middle position holding A♦Q♥. Xu Yang then squeezed to 1,200,000 from the cutoff with 10♣10♦, which got a fold from Haxton and a call from Nakai.
Nakai checked after hitting top pair on the 6♠A♥9♣ flop and called after Yang bet 700,000.
Both players checked on the 8♦ turn, but Nakai took the initiative with a bet of 1,200,000 on the 8♥ river. Yang let his pair of tens go and Nakai dragged the pot.
