The very next hand after doubling up Cliff Josephy, Masa Kagawa tangles in a hand with Tyler Smith. It is a blind vs. blind confrontation as the flop comes down [Qd5c4s]. Kagawa bets 2,500 from the small blind and Smith raises to 6,200 from the big blind.
Kagawa reraises to 12,700 and Smith eyes Kagawa’s stack. He thinks for a couple of minutes before making it 22,300 to play. Kagawa doesn’t think too long before announcing he is all-in for another 80,000 or so. Smith quickly folds and Kagawa takes the pot.
Masa Kagawa – 130,000
Tyler Smith – 96,500
