Kamikawa Doubles to Leave Young on Fumes
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Justin Young opened to 10,000 on the button before Tomohiro Kamikawa went all-in for 64,000 from the small blind. Young gave it some thought before he put in the call to put Kamikawa at risk.
Tomohiro Kamikawa: 8♠8♦
Justin Young: A♣4♦
Kamikawa needed to fade the ace, and the flop did just that when it came 5♠9♠Q♠.
Kamikawa gained a flush draw, which would be crucial when the A♠ peeled on the turn to give Young a pair of aces, and Kamikawa a flush to clinch the hand.
The Q♣ river was of no consequence as Kamikawa earned the double up and Young was left with a small stack in the aftermath.
