Nakanishi Has the Superior Pair
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Shota Nakanishi bet a three-way flop of J?J?6? flop for 30,000 with the K?K? and Stephen Chidwick check-called out of the small blind with the 7?7?. Boutros Awad let go of the 6?5? in the big blind and the remaining two players headed to the 2? turn.
Chidwick now led for 35,000 and Nakanishi raised to 115,000 soon thereafter. The Brit pondered about his move for a short while and called to then see Nakanishi check behind the 3? river to win the pot.
