Naoya Kihara: J♣10♦5♦/A♣A♦4♣9♠
James Cheung: XxXx/J♠K♠6♠Q♥/Xx

James Cheung called the bring-in and called after Naoya Kihara completed.

Cheung called a bet from Kihara on fourth street and said, "My friend you have no slow down button," after Kihara bet again on fifth. Cheung again called.

Kihara then check-called bets from Cheung on sixth and seventh and Cheung announced he only had a pair of kings.

Kihara already had him beat with his open aces, but revealed his holding to claim the pot.
