Oya's Pair Holds
Niveau 23
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Michael Rocco opened to 400,000 from the hijack with J♥8♠. Masashi Oya called from the small blind with 9♠9♦.
Rocco had a gutshot on the 10♠7♥2♠ flop, but of course, two nines were already accounted for. Oya check-called for 500,000, which brought in the 5♥ turn. Oya, Japan's All-Time Money winner, remained in the lead.
Action checked through to the 6♠ river, giving the checkmark to Oya.
Both players checked again and Oya took the 2,200,000 pot.
