Yoshiki Shibata's Wait Got Paid

by Tricia David • May 22, 2026 - 6:30 AM

Yoshiki Shibata had been waiting a long time for a double up and while he shoved several times, it was uncalled... until now.... . On a flop of J ♦️ 3 ♠️ 6 ♥️, Shibata was all in and Nakai Yamamoto had him covered.

Yoshiki Shibata: A ♣️ A ♠️

Nakai Yamamoto: A ♥️ K ♥️

The turn Q ♥️ gave Shibata sweat with Yamamoto given hope with a flush draw. No love came on the river for Yamamoto, instead it was the 8 ♠️ for Shibata to pull in a double up.
