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.

Schwartz Gets Around in Stud-8

Stud-8
Luke Schwartz is mostly known for his antics and his No Limit Hold'em game. But he also knows how to play the other games as he's doing well on day two of this event.

Luke Schwartz{x-}{x-} / {A-Spades}{10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} / {x-}
David Oppenheim{x-}{x-} / {6-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{7-Hearts}/ {x-}

Schwartz completed it on third street and Oppenheim was his only caller. On fourth street Oppeneheim bet and Schwartz called. On fifth street Kenney paired up and he bet, Oppenheim called. Sixth street still gave Kenney the betting lead and he fired at it again. Oppenheim called.

On seventh street Schwartz bet again, Oppenheim raised, Schwartz three-bet and Oppenheim folded giving the Englishman the pot without showdown.

Allemann Shorter and Shorter

Limit Hold'em

Anton Allemann was one of the short stacks heading into day two, and he's still looking for a double up.

From the cutoff Ville Wahlbeck raised and Allemann three-bet from the cutoff. Heads up they saw a flop which showed {a-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{8-Clubs}. Wahlbeck check-called.

On the turn, the {J-Spades}, both players checked and the river was the {K-Hearts}. Wahlbeck bet, and Allemann called. Wahlbeck showed {J-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and took down the pot.

No-Limit Hold'em

During the last level, Mike Sexton was eliminated by David Grey. Grey had raised and Sexton reraised all in for 16,000. Grey made the call with two jacks and Sexton was at risk with nines. No help came for Sexton and he was eliminated from the tournament.
