Kihara Outdraws Kassela

Level 2 : Blinds 200/400, 600 ante
Naoya Kihara
Naoya Kihara

Frank Kassela raised to 1,200 under the gun. Cutoff Naoya Kihara three-bet to 3,800, which Kassela called after the action had folded back to him.

Kassela remained pat, prompting Kihara to draw one card. Kassela then checked it over to Kihara, who tossed in an over-bet of 11,000.

Kassela quickly called, but he could not beat the 9x8x5x4x2x of Kihara and mucked in defeat.
