Kihara Continues Bracelet-Winning Strategy

Level 22 : Limits 50,000/100,000, 0 ante
Naoya Kihara
Naoya Kihara

Naoya Kihara raised as first to act. Koji Fujimoto was in the small blind and three-bet, seeing Kihara toss in calling chips. After each player had drawn two cards, Fujimoto continued betting, and Kihara called with just 70,000 back.

Fujimoto then took one card on the second draw, while Kihara still needed two. Fujimoto put his opponent all in afterward, with Kihara quickly calling. On the final draw, Fujimoto drew one more card, prompting Kihara to remain pat.

Naoya Kihara: 10x9x7x6x3x All in
Koji Fujimoto: 7x5x4x2x

Fujimoto caught paint with the Kx, resulting in Kihara doubling up.

"That's how you win two bracelets," Andrew Kelsall noted. "All-in, win. All-in, win."
