Kihara Bets Out Leonard

Level 17 : Limits 15,000/30,000, 0 ante

Naoya Kihara: XxXx/933K/Xx
Patrick Leonard: XxXx/2JA10 - folded on sixth street

The table was discussing players such as Phil Hellmuth and Mike Matusow skipping this event in order to go to the Golden Knights hockey game today.

"How do you skip an event just to go to a hockey game?" Allen Kessler said.

"Normal people do that. They have a life. Poker isn't life," Jason Kluska said.

"First time anyone said that Phil Hellmuth and Mike Matusow were normal people," Chris Brewer chimed in.

Meanwhile, Naoya Kihara had completed and Patrick Leonard called.

Kihara continued betting on fourth and fifth streets, and Leonard called. Kihara then bet on sixth, and Leonard gave up his hand.
