Hirose Picks Off the Bluff
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
A player from under the gun raised to 4,500, he was called by Kenneth Hirose in early position, and the big blind Rey Roca.
After the 2♦K♥7♣ flop, Roca checked to the under the gun player who bet out 7,000. Hirose made the call, and Roca folded.
The turn brought the 5♣ and both players checked to the 3♥ river. The under the gun player bet out 8,000 and Hirose quickly made the call. The player under the gun announced "Ace high" and Hirose tabled 8♥8♦ for a pair of eights to take the pot.
