Naoya Kihara

Seven Card Stud 8 or Better

Naoya Kihara got his last 100,000 chips in on fourth street during a four-way family pot.

Christopher Lindner bowed out of the action on fifth street, leaving Ray Henson and Jaswinder Lally against Kihara.

Once their boards were completed, Henson and Lally split the pot and Kihara mucked, falling short of making back-to-back final tables in the event.

Gamble Knows It's Good

Level 26 : 40,000/80,000, 0 ante

Omaha Hi-Lo

Ian O'Hara raised the button to 80,000 and Nathan Gamble defended his big blind to see a flop of {6-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}.

Gamble check-called a bet of 40,000 and then check-called one of 80,000 on the {k-Diamonds} turn.

Action then went check-check after the {k-Clubs} paired the board on the river.

"Ace-queen," Gamble said as he tabled the {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{5-Hearts}.

"It's good," O'Hara said before flashing just the {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for an inferior two pair.

"I know," said Gamble. "It has to be if you check back there."
