Kihara Chips Up; Grundy Gets Short
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Christopher Vitch limped from the small blind and faced a pot-sized raise by Naoya Kihara in the big blind. After verifying the stack size of Kihara, Vitch came along to the A♣9♦7♥ flop and checked. Kihara bet the pot and Vitch snap-folded.
"Scared," Kihara said and Jeffrie Rine inquired "scared or skilled" from the other side of the table.
One table over, Ben Grundy bet the pot on the J♣10♠3♣5♥K♠ river to see Taylor Wilson call by sliding forward a stack of T-5,000 chips. Grundy instantly mucked his cards with a lot of force and dropped below 20 blinds.
