Kihara Raises Big Against Valeo

Level 16 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 15,000 ante

Matthew Valeo and Naoya Kihara built a pot of around 80,000 as they went heads-up after the draw. Valeo then bet 45,000 from the small blind, and Kihara raised to 240,000 under the gun.

Valeo called, and Kihara turned over 7x6x4x3x2x to win the pot and climb up around the 1,000,000 milestone.
