Cates Gets Some Value From Kihara

Level 24 : 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo

Naoya Kihara: {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts} / {4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} / {7-Hearts}
Dan Cates: {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} / {q-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} / {10-Clubs}

Naoya Kihara chopped with Dan Cates in the previous hand when neither had a pair in the hand and Kihara had the superior kicker for his ace-high.

What followed was another duel between the two in which Cates completed with split queens. Kihara called bets by Cates from fourth to sixth street and was put in the ringer by Cates on seventh. Kihara tanked for a while and eventually opted to fold.
