Kihara Rebuilds in Single Draw

Level 16 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw

Naoya Kihara has been battling a short stack as dinner approaches, but a pair of hands have chipped him up.

First, after Benny Glaser raised to 55,000 from the hijack, Kihara jammed for 580,000 from the small blind. Glaser folded and Kihara took the pot.

Shortly after that, it was Dan Smith raising to 50,000 in first position and Kihara again jammed, this time from the cutoff.

Smith folded to send another pot Kihara's way and boost him over 800,000
