Nakamura Doubles Through Suzuki
Level 28
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 0 ante
Pot-Limit Omaha
Walter Chambers raised on the button to 175,000 and got calls from Ryutaro Suzuki in the small blind and Tamon Nakamura in the big blind.
The flop came 6♣7♥A♠ and after Suzuki checked, Nakamura moved all in for his last 270,000 chips. Chambers folded, but Suzuki went into the tank.
Suzuki ran the numbers in his head and determined that a call was the correct play, dropping the chips in the middle to try again to eliminate his countryman.
Tamon Nakamura: A♦J♥8♠2♥
Ryutaro Suzuki: K♣10♣9♦6♦
Nakamura's pair of aces were ahead of Suzuki's pair of sixes, and would remain so after the 4♥4♠ runout, giving Nakamura a winning two pair of aces and fours.
