Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Action folded to Ethan Siemiesz on the button who raised 22,000. The small blind folded before Mark Kawamoto called from the big blind to see a 534.

Kawamoto led into Siemiesz with a bet of 15,000 and got called to see a 9 on the turn. Action checked through to a Q river and both players checked again.

Kawamoto turned up the 73 for bottom pair which was good versus the A8 of Siemiesz.
