Nakanowatari Doubles With Aces

Level 17 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

A player in early position had limped in and been raised from a middle position player to 35,000. Junichi Nakanowatari had then shoved all in and action was back on the limper. He asked for a count and in total took about 30 seconds before folding. The raiser then confirmed the count and took another 20 seconds or so before tossing in chips to call. Nakanowatari quickly tabled his hand.

"Oh, man!" exclaimed his opponent.

Junichi Nakanowatari: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}
Opponent: {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}

"Okay, maybe it was a good fold then. Tens," said the player to Nakanowatari's left who had also apparently thought for some time before folding preflop.

The board ran out {7-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and was no sweat for Nakanowatari en route to a double.
