Julia Gains Further Traction

Level 2 : 500/1,500, 1,500 ante

Seven Card Stud

Nicholas Julia: {x-}{x-} / {8-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} / {x-}
Naoya Kihara: {x-}{x-} / {9-Spades}{6-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{j-Spades} / {x-}

On fifth street in a heads-up pot between Naoya Kihara and Nicholas Julia, the former check-raised and Julia came along. Kihara bet sixth street to receive a call and quickly bet again on seventh. Julia made the call and Kihara forfeited the pot by sending his cards into the muck.
