Oya on the Rise; Busts Schindler

Level 11 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

The board was already completed to read {a-Spades}{8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}. From the big blind, Aleksejs Ponakovs bet 300,000. Masashi Oya raised to 650,000 from middle position. Ponakovs folded. As has been a theme today, Oya once again showed a monster as he revealed the {8-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for a boat, making Ponakovs grateful for his fold.

The next hand, Oya raised from early position. Jake Schindler jammed about 300,000 from the button. Oya thought for a bit before he called.

Schindler tabled the {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}, which was well ahead of the {j-Clubs}{7-Clubs} of Oya. But the flop came {10-Clubs}{a-Spades}{k-Clubs} to suddenly give Oya a lot of outs. The turn was the {3-Clubs} to bring in the flush. Schindler grabbed his queens and flipped them over in frustration as the {10-Hearts} came on the river and he got up from the table.

"Nobody is going to complain about that one," said Dan Smith as Schindler walked away.
