Kenji Hata

Kenji Hata won the blinds and ante on an uncalled shove but when he shoved again, Kyung Min Lee defended his small blind.

Kenji Hata: A ♥️ 7 ♥️

Kyung Min Lee: A ♣️ Q ♣️

Needing to pair his small card or running hearts to avoid the rail, the deck did not heed his call as the board ran 3 ♠️ 9 ♣️ 9 ♦️ J ♠️ A ♠️. No chop as Lee's kicker played.
