Tamon Nakamura
Tamon Nakamura

Benjamin Moon opened to 9,000 from early position before Tamon Nakamura made it 27,000 in the big blind. Moon paused for a moment before calling.

Nakamura, with around 80,000 behind, continued for 15,000 on the {10-Spades}{2-Spades}{10-} flop. Moon jammed as the big stack and Nakamura called for his tournament life.

Tamon Nakamura: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}
Benjamin Moon: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

Nakamura looked certain for a double up as his aces remained in front on the {7-Spades} turn. However, the {k-Spades} hit the river to give Moon a full house. As the card hit the table, the players fell silent. Nakamura did a big exhale before collecting his things and leaving the tournament floor.
