Kihara Scoops with a Boat to Double

Level 7

Stud Hi-Lo

Naoya Kihara: XxXx / A899 / Xx All in
Daniel Walmsley: XxXx / 59K - folded on fifths street
Yong Wang: XxXx / 673Q / Xx

Walmsley completed, and was called by Wang and Kihara.

Kihara checked fourth to Walmsley who bet and both opponents called.

It checked all the way to Wang on fifth who bet, Kihara raised, Walmsley folded, and Wang called.

Kihara led sixth with open nines, and he led all-in for his final 2,000 on seventh, which Wang called after a small deliberation. Kihara tabled 88Xx in the hole for a full house, and Wang could not salvage half the pot, showing 7x6x4x as he made two pair but no low.
