Kihara Misses Draw and Loses Loads of Chips
Level 25
: 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Limit Hold'em
Dan Cates raised on the button with the 
and Naoya Kihara three-bet the 
in the small blind, picking up a call from Cates. They headed to the 
flop on which Kihara found an open-ender and bet, Cates called with the top pair and top kicker.
The 
followed on the turn and Kihara bet again, this time facing a raise by Cates and coming along.
Kihara then went for a check-raise on the 
river and was unable to get Cates off his trips to lose a big chunk of his shorter stack.
