Kota Hirano

Randy Oh was sitting on a big stack when he got involved with Kota Hirano in a hand that turned into a battle of nerves.

Oh opened preflop then called Hirano's three-bet to see a flop of 6 ♠️ 4 ♦️ 8 ♣️. Hirano continued for 16,000, and Oh called.

The turn 5 ♣️ saw Hirano slow down to a check, opening the door for Oh to steal. Oh fired 29,000 and Hirano tank-called.

On the river 4 ♠️, with the board pairing and all low cards, Hirano grabbed the reins again and led out for 35,000. Oh put him to the test with a raise to 145,000. Hirano tanked while assessing the board then found the reason to call.

Oh immediately tapped the felt to acknowledging the good call. Hirano turned over J ♣️ J ♦️ and shipped the pot with Oh mucking.
