Kihara Scoops Simao for a Double
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Paul Volpe raised to 60,000 from under the gun and Naoya Kihara called from one seat over. Joao Simao raised to 275,000 in the cutoff and Volpe tank-folded which prompted "ah, we are still friends."
Kihara called, however, and they headed to the 8♦7♥3♦ flop, on which the shove by Kihara for 105,000 was called by Simao.
Noaya Kihara: A♥5♠4♦2♦
Joao Simao: A♠A♦J♠6♣
The J♦ turn ensured the scoop of Kihara, (with the nut low and nut low diamond flush) to make the 9♠ river a formality.
"How do you find the low cards here and here ... diamonds?!" Simao asked more to himself than Kihara.
