First and Only Japanese Bracelet Winner Busts

Stud

We just lost Naoya Kihara, the first Japanese bracelet winner who took down the $5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha event earlier this Series. Nick Schulman was the one who took Kihara's chips, but he's also in the danger zone with just 52,000 chips.

John Juanda{x-}{x-} / {10-Spades} - Fold
Naoya Kihara{7-Spades}{5-Diamonds} / {7-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{J-Spades} / {Q-Diamonds}
Nick Schulman{Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs} / {2-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} / {5-Hearts}

John Juanda completed it on third street, Kihara raised, Schulman three-bet, Juanda folded and Kihara put in the fourth raise. Schulman called giving us heads up action on fourth street.

Kihara only had 1,200 chips left and he moved all in. Schulman called. Schulman's pair of queens held up and Kihara got knocked out.
