Kihara Still Among Top
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 9,000 ante
Alex Foxen raised to 12,000 on the button, Naoya Kihara called in the small blind, and Billy Baxter did so in the big blind.
Kihara drew one, Baxter two, and, much to the surprise of Kihara and Baxter, Foxen drew three cards.
Kihara then bet 30,000 after the draw and received a call from Baxter. Foxen did not get three good cards and mucked, after which Kihara showed 9x7x6x5x4x for the winning hand.
