Okamoto Bests Two at Showdown
Level 20
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Lander Lijo raised to 20,000 from early position, Shiina Okamoto three-bet to 47,000 in middle position and Maria Konnikova cold-called in the big blind. Lijo also called.
The 3?10?6? flop checked through to the Q? turn and the A? river. All three players checked to a showdown. Konnikova tabled 7?7?, but was behind as Lijo announced he had a queen. Okamoto tabled A?2? for an even bigger pair and took down the pot.
