Nakaknishi Quarters Kihara

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

On a flop of Q♦7♥3♠, Shota Nakanishi bet 4,500 from under the gun and Thomas Zanot flatted on his left. Next to act, Naoya Kihara potted to 24,900. Nakanishi then jammed for around 87,000, Zanot folded, and Kihara called.

Shota Nakanishi: A♣Q♥8♣2♦ All in
Naoya Kihara: A♥Q♠10♦2♣

Both players had an extremely similar hand as Kihara pleaded with the dealer for no eight. The J♥ turn was clean, but the 8♥ landed on the river, giving Nakanishi two pair while both had the same low, and three-quarters of the pot went to Nakanishi.
