Naoya Kihara Eliminates Dermot Blain

Naoya Kihara has just added another scalp to his collection. This time it is the Irishman Dermot Blain who has melted away against the white hot heat of the Japanese run. Dermot Blain had top set ( {Q-} {Q-} {A-} {x-} ) on a flop of {Q-} {9-} {4-} (two hearts) versus the {K-} {K-} {7-} {8-} (three hearts) of Kihara. The third heart hit the turn, there was no pairing of the board on the river and Kihara adds another 175,000 to his ever growing empire.

Adam Kornuth had less than 100,000 chips when he busted to Daniel Hindin. A raising war saw all the chips in pre flop.

Kornuth: {a-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {k-Spades} {6-Spades}
Hindin: {a-Diamonds} {q-Diamonds} {9-Clubs}

The board ran {10-Hearts} {8-Clubs} {9-Spades} {4-Diamonds} {j-Hearts} to make Hindin a straight.

Three Aces Good in the Hole?

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

When you have three aces in you're hand in PLO, you know you're ahead pre flop but will find it hard to improve post flop. Sometimes you don't need to though.

Jonas Entin called Elton Beebe's shove whilst saying, "I call as I know I'm ahead as I have three aces and a king."

Entin: {a-Clubs} {a-Diamonds} {a-Spades} {k-Diamonds}
Beebe: {k-Hearts} {k-Spades} {7-Spades} {3-Diamonds}

The board ran {9-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {3-Hearts} {10-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} .

"Good game, brother." added Entin.

Naoya Kihara Running Hot

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Naoya Kihara has the whole of Table #447 in stunned silence. We have just seen him seriously dent the hopes of two of the very best.

The first person he damaged was Tom Marchese. The board was showing {10-Hearts} {5-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} {A-Spades} {4-Clubs} and Marchese paid of a 33,000 river bet to reduce him to 60,000. Kihara showed {A-Hearts} {K-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} {2-Spades} and Marchese mucked his hand.

Next it was the short stacked Samuel Chartier to feel the wrath of Kihara. Our hand analysis was disrupted due to the Parkinson bust-out but we know that Charter paid off another river value bet from - the man from Japan - and is now down to 23,000 chips. Kihara has around 660,000.

Player	Chips	Progress
Naoya Kihara	660,000 135,000	135,000

Tom Marchese	60,000 47,000	47,000

Samuel Chartier	23,000

Padraig Parkinson Has Bust

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

It was a case of old skool versus old skool as Joe Monro and Padraig Parkinson just got it all-in on a flop of {J-Clubs} {3-Spades} {2-Clubs} . When the cards were flipped on their backs it was Parkinson who was in great shape, but that would all change on the turn.

The turn card was the {K-Hearts} and Monro had taken an unexpected lead. The river {9-Spades} changed nothing, and a very unfortunate Parkinson was out.

Kihara Building a Big House

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Naoya Kihara is the first player to burst through the 500k mark after winning a big pot off the bubble-bursting Daniel Hindin.

Kihara raised from under the gun and was only called by Hindon on the button. The flop came {8-Spades} {10-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} and Kihara continued for 12,000. Call.

Kihara pushed 23,000 forward on the {10-Hearts} turn, and 43,000 forward on the {9-Spades} river. Hindon called pretty quickly both times.

"House," said Kihara and opened {10-Spades} {2-Spades} {q-Clubs} {q-Diamonds} .

"Arghhh," responded Hindin who opened {q-Spades} {j-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} {j-Diamonds} .

Naoya Kihara	525,000 55,000	55,000

A Small Pot For Deeb & De Maci Doubles Through Lenaghan

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Two pots for you; one small and one slightly bigger.

Kevin MacPhee raised to 6,500 on the button, Shaun Deeb three-bet to 22,500 in the small blind and MacPhee made the call.

Flop: {J-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} {7-Hearts}

Deeb bet 16,500 and MacPhee released his hand.

Two tables down from that action and we caught a hand on the flop, between Chris De Maci and Ryan Lenaghan. The flop was {5-Spades} {4-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} and De Maci (UTG) had checked-called a 13,000 Lenaghan (OTB) bet. The turn card of {K-Diamonds} was the money card with De Maci check-raising all-in over a 48,000 Lenaghan double barrel.

It was looking extremely likely that De Maci would be eliminated but you never know in PLO. The dealer placed the {4-Diamonds} on the river and it was one of the only diamonds that De Maci wanted to see because it made him a full-house.

"Don't worry…it's a cooler," said Lenaghan.
