Shimizu Continues to Climb
Level 10
: Blinds 2,000/3,000, 0 ante
Nozomu Shimizu raised from the cutoff and action folded to Mori Eskandani in the small blind, who made it three bets to go. It was folded back around to Shimizu, who called.
Shimizu called a bet from Eskandani on the A♣8♣8♠ flop and both players checked on the 5♥ turn.
Eskandani checked once more when the 5♣ completed and double-paired the board. Shimizu bet, Eskandani called, and Shimizu showed him A♥5♦ for fives-full of aces.
Eskandani couldn't beat it and mucked — awarding the pot to Shimizu.
