Kobayashi Doubles
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
After losing a large portion of his stack in a previous altercation, Kobayashi found himself very short-stacked and in the small blind.
Fabian Niederreiter raised to 2,100 from the cutoff, and Kobayashi moved his remaining 4,500 into the middle. Only Niederreiter called, and the cards were flipped over.
Hirokazu Kobayashi: A♥Q♥ 
Fabian Niederreiter: Q♣J♠
There was no bad beat story to be had for Kobayashi as the board ran out 9♥8♣6♥5♠2♦, giving him a full double-up.
