Catching the action on a flop of Q♠A♥5♦. Charles Thomas checked from the small blind, and Nozomu Shimizu bet from the hijack. Thomas check-raised, which Shimizu called.
Thomas bet the 7♣ turn and Shimizu called.
The 2♣ came on the river and both players checked. Thomas showed K♥J♥ for just king-high and lost the pot to Shimizu's Q♣4♣ for a pair of queens.
