Yoshiba Flushes Ikeda On the River

Jerome Solomon

Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Kyohei Ikeda moved all in from the hijack with his last 480,000 chips. Daniel Yoshiba made the call on the button.

Kyohei Ikeda: J♣J♦ All in
Daniel Yoshiba: K♥J♥

Despite Ikeda's edge preflop, tablemate Anthony Lasala issued a warning: "Uh-oh, this guy's the knockout king."

Ikeda was safe throuth the flop 9♥8♠3♥ and the turn 6♣.

Then Lasala said, "Hold your breath," just before the 4♥ landed on the river to give Yoshiba a flush and another KO.
