Kagawa Missteps
Level 5
: 100/200, 25 ante
We picked up the action on the flop just as Masa Kagawa was calling a bet from his lone opponent. We were too late to see the amount, but we caught the rest of the action as the turn put on board. Kagawa checked a second time, and his opponent put out 4,200 into a pot of about 6,500. Kagawa spent a long while in the tank before splashing in the call, and the river came the to fill out the board. It went check-check this time, and Kagawa announced, "Ace". He flashed the , but he stopped himself before showing both as his opponent tabled the superior to win the pot.
Kagawa is still having a good day, but that loss knocks him back down around 31,000.
