Kihara Survives Scary Board

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

No-Limit Hold'em

Naoya Kihara limped in the small blind and Philip Sternheimer checked his big blind.

The flop was {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{4-Clubs} and Kihara check-called 40,000. The two checked down the {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} runout and Kihara, perhaps sheepishly, turned over {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}. Sternheimer mucked and Kihara took down the point.
