Liam Gannon

Niveau 27 : Blinds 75,000/125,000, 125,000 ante

Luis Medina called in the small blind and in the big blind, Kenneth Hirose checked his option.

The flop rolled out 8♥2♠2♣ and Medina checked over to Hirose who bet 200,000 which Medina called.

On the turn 7♠, Medina checked a second time over to Hirose who bet 400,000 and Medina called once more.

Medina checked the river 7♣ and Hirose moved all in for 950,000, earning a snap-call from Medina.

Luis Medina: 9♠8♠ All in
Kenneth Hirose: 10♥8♣

"Oh noooo," Medina lamented "kicker problems." With that he shook both of his opponent's hands and the tournament progressed to heads up play.
