Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante
Masa Kagawa took a hit to his stack.
Masa Kagawa took a hit to his stack.

A player in early position opened for 1,250, Masa Kagawa called and the player in the cutoff moved all in for 10,800. The player on the button called the all in, the original raiser folded and Kagawa asked the button how much he had behind -- about 30,000.

Kagawa then moved all in himself, having the button covered, and the button called for his 30,000 stack.

Cutoff: {Q-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}
Button: {A-Diamonds} {A-Spades}
Kagawa: {8-Diamonds} {8-Clubs}

The board ran {5-Clubs} {K-Clubs} {2-Spades} {A-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} and the button knocked out the cutoff and earned a double up from Kagawa. When the smoke cleared Kagawa was left around 37,000 and the button was up to around 90,000.
