Level 9 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

Chris Fraser is nowhere in sight anymore and there have also been large chip changes over on table 132 as well. Defending champion Dan Cates in the small blind called a pot-sized three-bet to 40,000 by Naoya Kihara in the big blind, who held the far biggest stack on their table.

Cates checked the {j-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} and Kihara bet the pot for 94,000 total. Once Cates let go after some speech play, Kihara flashed at a pair of aces with at least one suit and one paint card.
