Matsumoto KOs Papava in Three-Way Clash

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Three ways on a flop of 986, Nino Papaya was already all in for approximately 23,000 from middle position against Sayoko Matsumoto in the cutoff and Hyegyung Kang in the big blind.

Both players checked down on the 2 turn and 9 river, and Papaya showed she held J10 for a bricked straight draw.

Matsumoto revealed 1010 for an overpair, which was good for the large pot against Kang's A7.
