Kihara Among First to Fall in the Money

Christian Zetzsche

Level 17 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Naoya Kihara got his short stack into the middle with the Q♥J♦9♠6♥ when the action resumed and he was up against Austin Apicella with the A♣A♠Q♠8♦.

The board ran out 8♥3♠3♣7♦7♠ and that spelled the end for Kihara. Shortly after, Ryan Leng also yelled "payout" after he had busted from a table nearby.

In the meanwhile, Huilin Chen was all-in for 3,000 and Corey Wright for just 4,000. They both survived against Marco Johnson to potentially make for a fantastic chip and a chair comeback story.

Level 17 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Cuba Levenberry raised to 42,000 under the gun and was called by Shawn Stroke on the button and Rudolph Sawa in the big blind.

Levenberry then jammed all in for 61,000 on the 5♠6♦Q♦ flop and was called by both opponents. On the Q♠ turn, Sawa checked to Stroke, who put him all in.

Sawa folded and the other two players showed down.

Cuba Levenberry: A♥K♦6♠6♥ All in
Shawn Stroke: A♣K♥Q♥2♠

The river came an inconsequential 9♣ and Levenberry raked in his triple-up.
