Nakanishi Escapes Domination to Double Through Choong
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Yita Choong opened from under the gun and it was folded to Shota Nakanishi, who shoved for 204,000 total on the button. Choong quickly called and hands were revealed.
Shota Nakanishi: A♠Q♠
Yita Choong: A♦K♦
Nakanishi had one foot out the door with his dominated ace, but the Q♥8♥4♠ flop vaulted him into the lead after pairing his queen.
The 3♥2♣ runout changed nothing and Nakanishi was awarded the double up while leaving Choong with just 40,000 left.
