Naoya Kihara Eliminated in 22nd Place (HK$198,000)
Level 17
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
PokerStars was represented by two pros at the start of the day in Team Online's Randy Lew and Naoya Kihara, but the latter has just fallen.
It happened when Aidan Tam opened for 8,000 from the cutoff and Kihara three-bet jammed for 49,000 from the button. The blind folded and Tam made a quick call.
Tam: 
Kihara: 
Kihara's face seemed to indicate that he knew his number had been called, and he seemed resigned to his fate after the 
flop failed to deliver him options. The 
turn meant he would need to catch a queen on the river to survive, but it wasn't in the cards as the useless 
peeled off.
