Kihara Chips Up; Grundy Gets Short
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Christopher Vitch limped from the small blind and faced a pot-sized raise by Naoya Kihara in the big blind. After verifying the stack size of Kihara, Vitch came along to the A?9?7? flop and checked. Kihara bet the pot and Vitch snap-folded.
"Scared," Kihara said and Jeffrie Rine inquired "scared or skilled" from the other side of the table.
One table over, Ben Grundy bet the pot on the J?10?3?5?K? river to see Taylor Wilson call by sliding forward a stack of T-5,000 chips. Grundy instantly mucked his cards with a lot of force and dropped below 20 blinds.
