Arai Keeps Building
Level 32
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Action folded to Kohei Arai in the hijack, and he opened to 600,000 with 7♣4♣. Michael Mizrachi defended his big blind with Q♠9♦, and the two went heads-up to a flop of Q♣10♥6♠.
Mizrachi checked, and Arai continued for 500,000. Mizrachi called to see the 8♠ on the turn, where he checked once again.
Arai upped the pressure with a bet of 2,200,000, and Mizrachi stuck around.
The A♦ river completed the board, and Arai didn’t back down. He fired a sizeable 5,200,000 bet into the middle, sending Mizrachi deep into the tank. After some thought, tossed his cards into the muck, and Arai raked in another pot.
