Nakanishi Has the Superior Pair
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Shota Nakanishi bet a three-way flop of J♠J♦6♦ flop for 30,000 with the K♠K♦ and Stephen Chidwick check-called out of the small blind with the 7♠7♣. Boutros Awad let go of the 6♥5♥ in the big blind and the remaining two players headed to the 2♥ turn.
Chidwick now led for 35,000 and Nakanishi raised to 115,000 soon thereafter. The Brit pondered about his move for a short while and called to then see Nakanishi check behind the 3♠ river to win the pot.
