Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Karapet Galstyan limped from the hijack before Haruhiko Shinohara made it 2,000 on the button. Naoto Takeya made it 4,000 from the small blind, and John Wasnock called out of the big blind.
Galstyan opted to fold before Shinohara ripped it for 51,700. His countryman, Takeya, folded, but Wasnock did not, as he called to put Shinohara at risk.
Haruhiko Shinohara: K♣K♠
John Wasnock: Q♠Q♣
Shinohara was well ahead of Wasnock as they went to a runout.
The board did not bring any drama as it spread out A♥10♠7♣5♥6♣ to award Shinohara the double up and drop Wasnock back down to below a starting stack.
