Three Hands Lead to Kihara's Bust
Level 15
: 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
We just got served up a reminder of just how crazy a game no-limit hold'em can be. Just fifteen minutes ago, Naoya Kihara was sitting on 200,000, and was sitting on a very comfrtable stack. However, after playing three hands in ten minutes, he was gone. Here's how it started.
Nicholas Grippo made it 5,000 to go, and Chino Rheem and Kihara tagged along from the blinds. The flop came 
, and Rheem checked to Kihara, who fired out 7,000. Grippo folded, but Rheem threw the call in. The turn brought the 
, and Rheem checked again. Kihara fired out 14,000, and this time, Rheem raised it up to 32,000. Kihara called, and the hit the river.
After about 20 seconds, Rheem started to cut out a ton of chips, and eventually fired out a pot sized bet of 70,000. Kihara spent about two minutes in the tank before sliding in the call, and to the shock of Kihara, Rheem flipped over 
for the nut straight on the river. Kihara said "nice bluff" and slid the chips over. On the very next hand, David Fox shoved all in for his last 32,000 with 
, and Kihara shoved over the top to isolate. Unfortunately for him, he had 
, and when Fox flopped a queen, the hand was all but over.
Just two hands later, his day was done. Rheem raised to 5,000, and Kihara shoved with . Tamara Tibbles woke up with two black queens in the big blind, and raised enough to get Rheem out of there. Kihara's ace never came, and in a flash, he was gone.
Meanwhile, Tibbles and Rheem are reaping the benefits, as they are currently first and second in chips.
