Mizukami Doubles, Guagenti Gone
Manuel Pochat raised to 60,000 from the cutoff and Kojiro Mizukami called from the small blind. Big blind David Sebesfi also came along and the trio saw a flop of K♦K♠J♠.
The action checked to Pochat and he put out a tiny bet of 35,000. Mizukami then raised to 125,000 and Sebesfi got out of the way. Pochat put in the extra chips and a 4♥ turn was dealt.
Mizukami slowed down with a check and Pochat again bet tiny, this time for 75,000. Mizukami then came up with a double check-raise, this time for his entire stack of 305,000.
Pochat tanked for a couple of minutes but eventually called with a sigh.
Kojiro Mizukami: K♣Q♠
Manuel Pochat: 9♣8♣
Mizukami had already locked up the pot with this trips kings and he breathed a sigh of relief. The meaningless 4♦ river upgraded him to a full house, and he raked in the double-up to be back over one million chips.
During the hand, Nick Guagenti got his final 190,000 chips in from the button and Yu Tang called from the big blind. Guagenti's Ax3x could not win against Tang's Qx9x and he left the tournament area distraught.
