Kagawa Puts His Tournament Life on the Line

Just prior to the last break, Dan Smith raised to 7,500 under the gun only to have Masa Kagawa move all in from middle position. The rest of the field got out of the way and Smith made the call.

Showdown

Smith{5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}
Kagawa{A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}

It was a classic race, but Kagawa needed to improve if he were to keep his tournament hopes alive. Unfortunately for him, the board ran out an uneventful {10-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{8-Clubs} and he was sent out the door.

"Rebuy?" Ilari Sahamies asked. Kagawa didn't give a firm answer but seemed to respond in the affirmative, so only time will tell if he decides to fire a second bullet.
