Kihara Among First to Fall in the Money
Level 17
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Naoya Kihara got his short stack into the middle with the Q♥J♦9♠6♥ when the action resumed and he was up against Austin Apicella with the A♣A♠Q♠8♦.
The board ran out 8♥3♠3♣7♦7♠ and that spelled the end for Kihara. Shortly after, Ryan Leng also yelled "payout" after he had busted from a table nearby.
In the meanwhile, Huilin Chen was all-in for 3,000 and Corey Wright for just 4,000. They both survived against Marco Johnson to potentially make for a fantastic chip and a chair comeback story.
