Lijo Straightens Out Hamada
Level 11
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Lander Lijo from the small blind and Shoichiro Hamada from the hijack were tangled in a pot with just over 150,000 in the middle headed to the turn with the board reading J♣10♠9♥3♣. Lijo lead for 95,000 and Hamada made the call.
On the Q♠ river, Lijo sized down to just 45,000 and Hamada begrudgingly put in the call as Lijo tabled K♥J♦ for a flopped top pair and river straight as he continues his hot start to the day.
