Arita Naohiro

Hand #18: Lei Zhang opened to 500,000 from early position and Arita Naohiro burned through some of his time banks before he three-bet to 1,300,000. When it got back to Zhang, he shoved, and Naohiro called off his last 850,000.

Arita Naohiro: A J

Lei Zhang: A K

Naohiro had made two pay jumps, but a third was looking unlikely as he was dominated by Zhang.

A flop of 2 8 7 was clean for Zhang, and the A turn left Naohiro with just one shot at three outs. It didn't come on the river as the 9 filled out the board, ending Naohiro's run in seventh.
