Iwamoto's Overpair Holds To Double Him Up
Japanese player Hiroya Iwamoto opened from middle-position and got called by Nattamon Kaweesorasak, Hyunmin Yang, and Xin Lim in the big-blind. The flop came down 7♣ 6♦ 4♥ and Iwamoto continued with a 3,000 bet. The Thai Kaweesorasak raised it up to 10,500 and all other players got out of the way. When action was back on Iwamoto, he counted his stack and then moved his 26,000 into the middle. The Thai player made the call.
Hiroya Iwamoto: 9♦ 9♠
Nattamon Kaweesorasak: 5♥ 5♦
Kaweesorasak had multiple outs to knock out Iwamoto, but lucky for him, the board ran out K♦ K♠ and he got a full double-up.

Easy Chips For Rivera Again
After getting three-bet by Hiroya Iwamoto on the button, Czardy Rivera went for four-bet toalling 10,200. His Japanese opponent made the call.
The A♥ K♠ 4♦ looked promising for the four-better's range, and indeed, his 5,000 bet was enough to make Iwamoto fold.

Rubianes and Iwamoto surrendered to give Chen an easy flopless scoop.
