Level 29
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Zixuan Liu raised to 250,000 from early position, and Junichi Murakami called from the big blind. The flop ran 6♦Q♦J♥, and both players checked.
On the turn K♠, Murakami took the lead and bet 200,000, and Liu called.
The river 8♣ brought a check from each player. Murakami showed K♣10♥ for a pair of kings for the win as Liu mucked.
In the second hand, Shawn Pilot raised from early position to 325,000, and Junichi Murakami three-bet all in for 2,800,000, putting the maximum pressure on his opponent. Pilot stood up and pondered, and ultimately folded reluctantly.
