Limit Hold'em

Ryutaro Suzuki raised on the button, then called when Tamon Nakamura made it three bets in the small blind.

The flop came 9♠A♥9♣ and Nakamura led out with a bet. Suzuki called to see the 7♠ turn, where Nakamura bet again.

Suzuki now came back with a raise and Nakamura, with only 145,000 left in his stack, tanked for several minutes before releasing his hand.

Nakamura Quadruples Up

Niveau 28 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 0 ante

Limit Hold 'em

Under the gun and seeing this would be the last hand of Limit Hold 'em before the game changed to No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw, Tamon Nakamura excitedly spiked his last 225,000 chips forward, which got calls from all three opponents at the table.

"Quadruple up!" said Nakamura before any further cards were dealt.

All three opponents checked the whole way on the 5♦10♥J♦Q♦K♣ board, with everyone then revealing their hands.

Tamon Nakamura: K♠10♦
Ryutaro Suzuki: J♠8♣
Jason Pedigo: 6♠6♦
Walter Chambers: Q♥3♥

No one had better than Chambers' pair of queens, except for Nakamura who indeed did quadruple up with his two pair, kings and tens.

Niveau 28 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 0 ante

No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw

Ryutaro Suzuki raised to 150,000 on the button before Tamon Nakamura moved all in for 930,000 in the small blind. Suzuki quickly called.

Nakamura stood pat and Suzuki let out a loud groan as he leaned back in his chair and starred up at the ceiling. Suzuki stayed in this position for several minutes before tossing a card away and drawing one.

Nakamura turned over QxJx6x4x2x, while Suzuki had 9x7x6x5x and was looking to improve. He instead caught a 8x to make a straight as Nakamura doubled up again, going from 225,000 to nearly 2,000,000 in the span of two hands.

Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

Ryutaro Suzuki raised in the cutoff and was called by Jason Pedigo in the small blind and Walter Chambers in the big blind.
