Okamoto Wins First Four Hands Heads-Up
Level 29
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Shiina Okamoto has had a good start to the heads-up match, slowly closing the gap between the players.
The third of these hands saw Okamoto open to 275,000 from the button with J♠7♣, which Jamie Kerstetter defended with Q♦7♥.
The 10♥8♦7♠ flop got checked by both players.
The turn was the 9♥, bringing in four to a straight, which was great for Okamoto, who hit the jack-high straight. Kerstetter checked and Okamoto bet 300,000. Kerstetter decided it is not the time to fold yet with her bottom pair and gutshot, and called.
The river was the 4♠ and, after getting another check from Kerstetter, Okamoto took it down with a bet of 800,000.
