Nina Doubles Up, Dents de la Cruz

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

With the pot already at 19,000 preflop, Edwin de la Cruz of the Philippines barely covers his Japanese opponent Taisuke Nina as the cards are revealed: de la Cruz shows T T while Niina has A K .


The flop immediately gave the lead to Niina: A 9 6 and the last two community cards provided no miracle comeback for the Filipino as the 5 and the 7 completed the runout in favor of Nina who doubles up.


De la Cruz’s stack plummets down even further after the debacle.
