Naoki Watanabe Has A Kicker Problem

Level 21: 6,000 / 12,000 ante: 12,000

Naoki Watanabe

Blasting his last 148,000 in the middle, Naoki Watanabe watches the action unfold behind him. David Erquiaga ups it to 300,000 in the SB and Sunghak Lee calls for a second time from the button to see the flop A♠ 3♠ 5♣ . David Erquiaga says he folded jacks when faced with Lee's 286,000 all-in who flips over A♥ J♦ against Watanabe's A♦ 8♣ . The dealer seals the deal with the turn J♣ and an insignificant A♣ on the river to send Naoki Watanabe packing.

Cooler Sends Watanabe Soaring As Babayev Nosedives

Level 1: 100 / 100 ante: 100

Naoki Watanabe

Naoki Watanabe kicks it off with a 300 raise from hijack and the blinds call for a three way look at the flop 3♦ 4♦ 2♣ . The battle continues with small blind Agharazi Babayev leading out 300 enough to get big blind Ira Blumenthal to fold and Watanabe to call. More chips go in on the turn 2♠ with Babayev firing 1200, gets challenged with a 2500 raise, Babayev three-bets 8200, and the round end with Watanabe calling.

On the river J♥ , Babayev shoves 21,600, Watanabe is slightly behind in chips but still calls for everything.
