Otani Drops Two
Level 2
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Action was caught on the river with 105,000 in the pot on the 9♠2♥5♠9♦5♦ board. Norihiro Otani checked from the small blind, and Sergio Aido jammed for around 68,000 from the big blind. Otani used up three time banks before making what appeared a reluctant fold.
The following hand, Joao Vieira opened to 3,500 from the hijack and called when Otani made it 11,000.
Action checked through to showdown and Vieira's 3♦3♣ was best on the Q♥8♠7♣Q♦4♠ board.
