Nishijima Takes It Down With Big Move

Level 3 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Jonathan Lane opened to 40,000 from middle position. Craig McCorkell called and it folded to Thiago Nishijima on the button. Nishijima thought for over a minute before announcing that he was all in.

The blinds folded and Lane quickly followed suit. McCorkell asked for a count and then thought for about twenty seconds before throwing away his hand. Nishijima was awarded the pot and accumulated more than 100,000 chips that hand.

While Nishijima may not be a household name, he has much experience in the online poker world. Our own Chad Holloway conducted an interview Nishijima back in March where they talked about online poker and Nishijima's start in poker.
