With around 130,000 in the pot, Dara Taherpour drew one from the hijack and Naoya Kihara drew one on the button.

Taherpour bet out for 25,000, and Kihara put him all in for his remaining 130,000 or so. Taherpour called and was shown 8x6x4x3x2x for an 8-6 by Kihara. Taherpour tossed his cards to the muck, indicating Kihara's hand was best and he headed for the exit.
