Straight v Straight: Kihara Wins

Naoya Kihara raised to 70,000 from first position and Davidi Kitai peeled from the button. The flop was {A-Clubs} {8-Spades} {7-Spades} and Kitai called a 155,000 Kihara c-bet. The turn card was the {6-Clubs} and this time Kihara decided a little bit of pot control was in order; he checked, Kitai bet 165,000 and Kihara called. The river card {9-Hearts} was checked through and it was time for a showdown.

Kihara{A-Hearts} {A-Spades} {10-Hearts} {8-Clubs}
Kitai{9-Clubs} {7-Hearts} {6-Spades} {5-Hearts}

Both players had straights, but Kihara's was slightly higher and he took down the pot.
