Nakai Stops the Bleeding

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Ryuta Nakai
Ryuta Nakai

Day 1a chip leader Ryuta Nakai has been having a bit of a rough start on Day 2abc, having lost approximately half of his stack since the start of play.

In a recent hand, Ryuta Nakai opened to 2,500 from the hijack and was called by Nikita Kalinin in the small blind and Paul Berger in the big blind.

Kalinin and Berger checked to Nakai, who continued for 3,500 on the 76Q flop. Kalinin called and Berger folded.

Both players checked down on the 4 turn and 8 river and Kalinin tabled K6 for a pair of sixes. Nakai turned over 1010 and was sent the pot.
