Nakanishi Springs the Trap

Level 7 : Blinds 0/0, 800 ante
Shota Nakanishi
Shota Nakanishi

Justin Bonomo opened to 2,000 and then Shota Nakanishi three-bet to 8,000, but then Kosei Ichinose put in the cold four-bet to 22,500.

Bonomo got out of the way while Nakanishi made the call to see the flop of A8Q.

Nakanishi checked to the preflop aggressor, who did not disappoint by continuing for 15,000, which Nakanishi called.

On the turn J, Nakanishi checked once more and Ichinose moved all in. Nakanishi snap-called as the shorter stack and the cards were tabled.

Shota Nakanishi: 910
Kosei Ichinose: AA

The river came the K and Nakanishi won the pot with his straight while Ichinose was left holding his inferior set of aces.

"Is that how you win tournaments?" Ivan Ermin said, "You just float for 15,000 and know its coming, huh?" Nakanishi just smiled and laughed as he stacked his new chips.

The very next hand, Ichinose, who was left with only 9,800, then moved all in against a new player that had just sat down who made the call to put him at risk.

Kosei Ichinose: KQ
New player: KJ

The flop came out 10J8 to give the new player the advantage with his pair of jacks, but the runout of 8A gave him Broadway on the river to stay alive for the double

Barbero Puts Chufarin In The Tank

Level 7 : Blinds 0/0, 800 ante
Nacho Barbero
Nacho Barbero

In a heads-up pot with roughly 20,000 in the middle on a flop showing QJ7, Nacho Barbero in middle position and Denys Chufarin next to act checked their options to the 6 turn.

Barbero bet out 15,000 and Chufarin tossed in chips for the call. The 10 completed the board and Barbero took some time before moving all in, covering the 65,000 remaining for Chufarin, who went deep in the tank.

After using six time-extensions, Chufarin reluctantly let his cards go and the pot was sent to Barbero.

Sammartino Takes One at Showdown

Level 7 : Blinds 0/0, 800 ante

Jesse Lonis opened to 7,500 from the hijack and both a player under the gun and Dario Sammartino in middle position made the call.

The flop fanned out A97 and action checked to Lonis who continued for 20,000, which only Sammartino came along. The 8 hit the turn and both players checked their options to the J river, where again it went check-check.

Sammartino announced two pair and tabled 98. Lonis double checked his cards before tossing them into the muck and the pot was sent to Sammartino.

Okamura Wins the Flip

Level 6 : Blinds 0/0, 600 ante

After some back-and-forth preflop, Lun Loon and Motoyoshi Okamura got it all in preflop with Loon covering.

Motoyoshi Okamura: KQ
Lun Loon: A10

"Another 50/50!" Loon and Okamura shared a laugh as the cards were tabled.

Loon was a favorite going into this battle, but the runout of J68109 gave Okamura a straight on the river to scoop the pot.
