Kuwahata Spikes the River to Leave Farnes With Crumbs

Level 24 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Yusuke Kuwahata was all in for 525,000 and up against Jeffrey Farnes to his immediate left.

Yusuke Kuwahata: {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Jeffrey Farnes: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}

Both players paired the king on a flop of {3-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}, but Farnes was ahead with his ace-kicker. The {2-Spades} on the turn didn't help Kuwahata, but the {q-Spades} on the river improved Kuwahata to two pair.

Farnes could do nothing but lower and shake his head as he was left with around 100,000.

Stoyanov once again made the call and the turn was {10-Clubs} which was checked through by both players. The river was {j-Clubs} and both players checked again.

Siena showed {k-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} but Stoyanov showed the better pair with {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} to scoop in the pot.
