Nakai Clocks In a Double

Level 14

Pot-Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

A big heads-up pot brewed as Julio Belluscio moved all in after all three draws to put Ryuta Nakai to a tough decision.

Nakai tanked for around five minutes and eventually the floor was called. As the clock ticked down, he called, quickly turning over 9x7x6x3x2x for a nine as Belluscio briefly flashed his cards that included 8x3x.

Pot-Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

Daiki Aoki moved all in for 5,500 from early position. James Minghini raised to 11,000 on the button, and Nitesh Rawtani called from the big blind.

On the first draw, each player drew two, and Rawtani check-folded to a bet of 12,000 from Minghini.

Minghini then stood pat for the final two draws, with Aoki drawing one each time.

Daiki Aoki: 8x5x3x2x All in
James Minghini: 7x6x5x4x2x

Aoki had a grand total of 0 outs, and paired up with an 8x just to add insult to injury.

No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw

The table also reminisced of a hand involving Aoki and tablemate Schreiber, in which the action was recounted to PokerNews

Aoki opened to 9,000, Schreiber three-bet to 27,000, then called a four-bet to 50,000. Both players patted, and asked how much Aoki had behind before moving all in for 60,000 effective. Aoki folded 9x8x5xXxXx and Schreiber showed the table 9x9x7x7x3x

In the same game, he busted tablemate Ryan Hoenig's pat ten with a pat seven.

Pot-Limit 5 Card Double Draw

Action was picked up following the first draw, with three players contesting a pot. Thomas Zanot checked from the big blind, and Jon Shoreman bet out for 12,000 from the cutoff. Christopher Adams then moved all in on the button for 72,000. Zanot rejammed, and Shoreman snap-folded. Zanot drew two and Adams took three.

Christopher Adams: Q♠Q♣ All in
Thomas Zanot: 6♣6♥6♦

Zanot was unimproved, tabling 4♣3♥ but Adams, too, was unable to make a better hand, tabling A♠9♥4♦ to end his tournament. After Adams had left the table, Shoreman let everybody know that he had folded queens up.
