Can Anyone Stop Kihara?
Naoya Kihara is charging towards winning Japan's first bracelet, and now has more than half the chips in play.
Hans Winzeler opened from the button and Kihara peeled from the big blind to see an 
flop where both players checked.
There was no more checking from this point on as Kihara led for 105,000 and 290,000 on the 
turn and river.
Winzeler called both times and then mucked upon seeing his opponent's 
for the flopped wheel.
