Kihara Comes Up Short
Team PokerStars Pro Online Naoya Kihara has been knocked out from this tournament, and we caught up with him on the rail.
The WSOP bracelet winner explained that he was down to just seven big blinds when the player on his right raised and he moved all in. Kihara got called by 
and he was just ahead holding 
.
The board brought a queen and the Japanese pro hit the rail on the first day. Kihara however remains in good spirits, as he will be playing in the side events here this week.
"I will play the high roller as well," Kihara said, about the big tournament that takes place on Saturday.
Kihara also added that he's currently focussed on the big $400/$800 mixed games on PokerStars, and that the $50,000 Players Championship is a goal of his.
"If I have a nice win in Las Vegas, or if I win the satellite, I will play the $50k," Kihara said, as he cashed out last year after having won the satellite together with Kevin Song.
