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.

Jan Collado & Samuel Chartier Are Out

We joined the action with the turn already laid out on a board of {A-Clubs} {J-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} when Sam Chartier and Naoya Kihara decided to get it all-in.

Kihara{A-Spades} {K-Hearts} {10-Clubs} {9-Hearts}
Chartier{J-Clubs} {10-Spades} {9-Diamonds} {5-Clubs}

Kihara ahead and the victory was confirmed when the {7-Hearts} completed the board. Chartier was out and joining him was Jan Collado who was eliminated a few moments earlier at the hands of Dermot Blain.

Three Aces Good in the Hole?

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

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.

Padraig Parkinson Has Bust

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.

Monro{K-Clubs} {K-Spades} {7-Diamonds} {6-Clubs}
Parkinson{A-Spades} {A-Clubs} {9-Hearts} {8-Hearts}

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

Naoya Kihara
Naoya Kihara

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}.

A Small Pot For Deeb & De Maci Doubles Through Lenaghan

Chris De Maci
Chris De Maci

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.

De Maci{K-Clubs} {K-Hearts} {A-Hearts} {2-Diamonds}
Lenaghan{7-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} {3-Hearts}

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.
