Yoshiki Shibata

Yoshiki Shibata got another boost to his stack and again it was thanks to Nakai Yamamoto who could not get away from the hand.

On a board showing 10 ♠️ 7 ♠️ 6 ♠️ 8 ♣️ 9 ♠️ with 200,000 in the pot, Shibata bet pot and Yamamoto tanked. After taking time to decide, he tossed in the call.

Shibata turned over A ♠️ A ♦️ nut flush and Yamamoto open-mucked one card K ♠️. They've now switched in the counts.
