Early Chop
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
In one of the first hands of the day, Ben Yu raised to 50,000, Naoya Kihara three-bet to 185,000 on the button and Yu called. Yu then potted the K♣4♣3♠ flop, Kihara shoved, and Yu stuck the rest in.
Ben Yu: A♠9♠5♥3♦
Naoya Kihara: A♣K♠6♦2♥
The board ran out 6♥3♥ and the players chopped it up, Kihara with the nut-low and Yu taking high with trip treys.
"Hmm, almost," Kihara grinned.
