Shimizu Takes the Chip Lead

Level 29 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Jinho Hong opened to 350,000 with K♣6♣ first to act and Nozomu Shimizu defended his big blind with 9♣8♦.

Shimizu checked the Q♣8♥3♠ flop and called when Hong continued for 350,000. The turn brought in the 6♦, and Shimizu checked again. Hong fired another 900,000 and again Shimizu called with the best hand.

A third check came from Shimizu on the 4♥ river and Hong checked back after mulling over his options. Shimizu's pair of eights were best and he claimed the pot.
