Dario Alioto opened the hijack to 25,000 before Naoya Kihara jammed for exactly 225,000 from the big blind, and Alioto called.
Both players drew one.
Naoya Kihara: 9x6x4x3x 
Dario Alioto: 6x4x3x2x
Alioto had the better draw as he peeled a Jx. Kihara slowly peeled his card as if he was at the baccarat table. Unfortunately for him, he peeled a 6x to pair as he had to settle for 16th.
