Okamoto Wins First Four Hands Heads-Up
Level 29
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Shiina Okamoto has had a good start to the heads-up match, slowly closing the gap between the players.
The third of these hands saw Okamoto open to 275,000 from the button with J?7?, which Jamie Kerstetter defended with Q?7?.
The 10?8?7? flop got checked by both players.
The turn was the 9?, bringing in four to a straight, which was great for Okamoto, who hit the jack-high straight. Kerstetter checked and Okamoto bet 300,000. Kerstetter decided it is not the time to fold yet with her bottom pair and gutshot, and called.
The river was the 4? and, after getting another check from Kerstetter, Okamoto took it down with a bet of 800,000.
