Naoya Kihara Triples Up

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante
Naoya Kihara
Naoya Kihara

Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better:

Kihara: {x-}{x-} / {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{4-Spades} / {x-}
Shchemelev: {x-}{x-} / {6-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{q-Spades} / {x-}
Celikovsky: {x-}{x-} / {8-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{4-Hearts} / {x-}

Naoya Kihara was getting short and bet on fourth and fifth street. As sixth street was being dealt, Scott Bohlman joined the table, and wished Kihara luck as he bet his last 3,400. Both opponents called.

The remaining two players checked seventh street. Kihara showed {a-Spades}{a-Hearts} for buried aces.

"One pair," said Kihara before sweating his final card. "Do I improve?" he showed a {7-Hearts}.

Both players shook their heads and tabled their hands; Shchemelev with {8-Hearts}{5-Spades}{5-Diamonds} and Celikovsky {k-Clubs}{2-Spades}{6-Spades} and Kihara tripled up.

"Remember me on the podium!" said Bohlman, as Kihara stacked his chips.
