Turn Aggression from Kihara

Level 4 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Naoya Kihara
Naoya Kihara

Artur Martirosian was second to act and opened to 18,000 before Robert Cowen called from the hijack. Naoya Kihara called from the small blind to create a three-handed pot.

The 21010 flop led to a pair of checks before Cowen bet 24,000. Kihara called, but Martirosian folded.

The J turn led to a check from Kihara. Cowen bet 78,000 in response, but Kihara wanted to play for more as he opted to check-raise to 210,000.

Cowen folded to award the pot to Kihara.
