"I Think Masato Is Too Smart"

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

The match so far between Martin Kabrhel and Masato Yokosawa has been pretty even, with Kabrhel making sure that the rail was keeping score.

On this hand, Masato Yokosawa raised to 5,000, and Kabrhel called. The flop came out with JQ5, and as soon as the last card dropped, Kabrhel announced, "Check blind." Yokosawa bet out 2,000, and Kabrhel called.

On the turn 3, Kabrhel fake-checked dark again and said, "I think Masato is too smart for me." Yokosawa checked behind.

The river 4 was also checked through, and Yokosawa turned over A9 for ace high.

Kabrhel asked aloud, "Why is there no money on this table or any bracelet? I don't know why they don't like us, because we are both adorable."
