Early Blow For Kagawa

Masa Kagawa has taken an early hit after doubling up Tony Utnage Jr.

Kagawa opened with a raise from the button to 3,500 before Utnage shoved over the top for an additional 18,700. Victor Ramdin deliberated in the big blind before making a reluctant fold (which he later claimed was {A-?}{J-?}), and Kagawa went into the tank.

With plenty of gambling chips in front of him, Kagawa made the call with {K-Hearts}{10-Clubs} but found himself dominated by the {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs} of Utnage.

The board delivered no surprises as it landed {6-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and Utnage doubles as Kagawa slips back to about 85,000 chips.
