The "Japanese Assassin" Wins Three Quarters

Level 19 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Naoya Kihara
Naoya Kihara

Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo

Naoya Kihara: {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{7-Spades} / {3-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}
Benny Glaser: {7-Clubs}{5-Spades}{2-Spades} / {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{3-Spades}

Benny Glaser completed to get called by Naoya Kihara and bet his advantage on fourth street for Kihara to call. As of fifth street, Glaser check-called bets by Kihara and then glanced over at the other side of the table to guess whether or not he would be the one to receive three quarters.

Since Kihara had a pair, it was the Japanese mixed game specialist to earn three quarters of the pot.

"The Japanese assassin ..." Philip Sternheimer chimed in and then asked "did you go to ninja academy?"
