Level 18
: 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
A raise by Hideki Izutsu was called by Irshat Shaykhov and Jiang Chen in the blinds. The 
flop was checked to Izutsu and he continued for 150,000. Shaykhov check-raised to 370,000 and that forced two folds.
Soon after, Izutsu opened to 130,000 first to act and picked up two callers once more in Wai Wa Chan and Michael Soyza in the blinds. The 
flop brought no betting action and Soyza led the [5d turn for 150,000, Izutsu snap-called and Chan quickly folded. Soyza jammed the 
on the river and Izutsu folded.
