Hayato Kitajima

Hayato Kitajima raised to 24,000 and Tomo Miyagi three-bet the cutoff to 52,000. All players behind folded and Kitajima four-bet to 108,000 for Miyagi to call.

On the J ♦️ 8 ♣️ 5 ♠️ flop, Kitajima continued for 80,000 and did so again for 150,000 on the 9 ♣️ turn. The 6 ♣️ river brought a possible flush and Kitajima tanked for a minute to then check, forfeiting one time bank.

Miyagi bet small for only 60,000 and Kitajima used another time bank to call. Miyagi nodded and showed his A ♦️ 10 ♦️ for a bluff, Kitajima earned the pot with Q ♥️ Q ♦️ for a pair of queens.

Player Chip Count
