Early Exit for GG Qualifier Okamura

Level 1 : 100/200, 200 ante

One of the many GG Poker qualifiers in the field has met with an early exit from the tournament.

According to his former tablemates, Motoyoshi Okamura lost a large portion of his stack on a king-high board with ace-king, and ran into the pocket aces of his opponent, Munir Shahin.

Shortly after on a flop of {j-Spades}{9-Spades}{5-Spades}, Okamura moved in for his last 6,500 with {9-}{5-} and was called by Shahin with {a-Spades}{j-}. A spade came on the turn, giving Shahin the flush, and eliminating Okamura.
