Hiroi Pushes Against The Big Stacks

Level 16: 2,500 / 5,000 ante: 5,000

Big-stacked Manh Tuan Nguyen raised to 11,000 from under the gun with action ending up to Yukako Hiroi, who pushed all-in from the small blind for 87,000. Nguyen could make the call with his stack and maybe experiencing a slight scratch, but decided to fold to award the pot to Hiroi.


In the next hand, the big-stacked Edilberto Gopez Jr. made the 10,000 min-raise from the cut-off when Hiroi three-betted to 33,000. Gopez Jr. folded and Hiroi was able to scoop up some more chips to improve her stack to a comfortable spot.

Hiroi's Two-Punch Combo KO's Kim

Level 14: 1,500 / 3,000 ante: 3,000

Action was folded around to Yukako Hiroi, who made a 6,500 raise from the button and was met by Yongkyun Kim on the big blind. Both players were unwrapped a flop of A 2 8 . Kim checked and Hiroi pushed a bet of 40,000, covering Kim's stack. After a brief pause to check his cards, Kim made the fold.


Right after, action again folded to Yukako Hiroi at the cut-off where he raised for the same 6,500. Kim moved all-in for his last 23,300 and the big-stacked Hiroi didn't have a problem calling. Kim was ahead with T T but the flop of 5 4 A paired Hiroi's A 9 to take the lead. Kim just one of two-outer, but the poker gods misinterpreted the request and sent a K K to complete the board and send Kim out of his seat.
