Kanai Bluffs his Way into the Chip Lead
Level 31
: Limits 120,000/2,400,000, 0 ante
Yuichi Kanai opened the button and Aaron Cummings defended his big blind.
Both drew two and Cummings led with a bet, which Kanai called.
On the second draw, both drew one again and Kanai called another bet from Cummings.
On the final draw, Cummings stood pat while Kanai took one. Cummings bet and Kanai raised, which sent Cummings deep into the tank. After a few minutes of deliberation, he decided to lay it down. Kanai slammed 3x3x on the table as he bluff-raised after pairing his three on the end. Kanai has also taken the chip lead.
