More for Kihara and Becker

Level 17 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

Picking up the action prior to the second draw, Naoya Kihara and Bryce Yockey both invested a bet each. Kihara then took one while Yockey took two and Kihara bet. Yockey raised and that sent his opponent into the tank as he carefully checked the stack behind before making the call.

On the final draw, Kihara patted and Kihara discarded one. Both checked and the {9-}{8-}{6-}{5-}{2-} of Kihara won the pot much to the relief of the mixed game specialist from Japan.

One table over, Dan Cates battled with Johannes Becker in a Seven Card Stud hand at the very same time.

Johannes Becker: {x-}{x-} / {k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{4-Hearts} / {x-}
Dan Cates: {x-}{x-} / {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} / {x-}

Cates bet sixth street with a pair of fives and three diamonds showing for Becker to call. Cates also bet seventh and then folded to a raise.
