Okamoto Versus Abraham

Livello 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Tamar Abraham raised from the hijack to 240,000. Shiina Okamoto flat called on the button and Suzanne Malavet also came along to see the flop.

The flop came A♦7♥10♦ and everyone checked.

The turn 2♥ brought out a bet from Abraham of 175,000 after a check from Malavet. Okamoto had other ideas and raised quickly to 475,000, Abraham made the call and Malavet folded.

The river was the 6♠ and Abraham checked and Okamoto bet 1,100,000. Abraham took a moment to decide and then called. Okamoto flipped over 2♦2♣ for the set and Abraham flipped over 10♣8♣ for the pair of tens.

Okamoto's rail went wild as she won some chips back from Abraham.

Livello 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

With three players involved on a board 8♦K♠3♣9♥ with a pot containing 1,800,000, Shiina Okamoto checked in the big blind with 3♠3♥ for a set of threes. Tara Cain checked behind with A♥6♥ and Tamar Abraham bet 450,000 on the button, holding 8♠8♥ for a set of eights.

Okamoto took a minute and raised it to 1,600,000. Cain let it go but Abraham shoved for a remaining stack of 4,240,000 and Okamoto snap-called to see the bad news.

The J♥ river didn't change anything and Okamoto conceded to big double up to Abraham.
