Kihara Scoops Simao for a Double
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Paul Volpe raised to 60,000 from under the gun and Naoya Kihara called from one seat over. Joao Simao raised to 275,000 in the cutoff and Volpe tank-folded which prompted "ah, we are still friends."
Kihara called, however, and they headed to the 8?7?3? flop, on which the shove by Kihara for 105,000 was called by Simao.
Noaya Kihara: A?5?4?2?
Joao Simao: A?A?J?6?
The J? turn ensured the scoop of Kihara, (with the nut low and nut low diamond flush) to make the 9? river a formality.
"How do you find the low cards here and here ... diamonds?!" Simao asked more to himself than Kihara.
