Salvation in the Eleventh Hour

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

On a {Q-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} flop, David Paredes led out with a bet of 4,200, and the player next to him raised the minimum. That sent the decision to Masa Kagawa, and he moved all in for just over 25,000 total. That folded Paredes, but the monkey in the middle called to put Kagawa at risk, and he was in bad shape:

Kagawa: {K-Hearts} {8-Hearts}
Opponent: {A-Hearts} {3-Hearts}

The {3-Diamonds} on the the turn was a blank for both players, and Kagawa was drawing slim for his survival.

River: {K-Spades}

Well that'll do it. In unlikely fashion, Kagawa finds his double to move up close to 60,000 on the final hand of the day.
