Masaki's Cowboys Hold Up

Level 1 : 25/25, 0 ante

We caught up with the action as Ozawa Masaki flipped up his {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} in an all-in confrontation against an opponent holding {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}.

The dealer revealed a flop of {4-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{9-Hearts} and Masaki's kings had held so far. The turn brought the {4-Hearts} and the gracious Japanese player was one card away from a double-up.

River: {3-Spades}

Masaki faded the three aces in the deck and eliminated a player from his table, doubling up to approximately 5,500 chips in the process.
