Nakanishi Springs the Trap

Level 7 : Blinds 0/0, 800 ante

Justin Bonomo opened to 2,000 and then Shota Nakanishi three-bet to 8,000, but then Kosei Ichinose put in the cold four-bet to 22,500.

Bonomo got out of the way while Nakanishi made the call to see the flop of A?8?Q?.

Nakanishi checked to the preflop aggressor, who did not disappoint by continuing for 15,000, which Nakanishi called.

On the turn J?, Nakanishi checked once more and Ichinose moved all in. Nakanishi snap-called as the shorter stack and the cards were tabled.

Shota Nakanishi: 9?10?
Kosei Ichinose: A?A?

The river came the K? and Nakanishi won the pot with his straight while Ichinose was left holding his inferior set of aces.

"Is that how you win tournaments?" Ivan Ermin said, "You just float for 15,000 and know its coming, huh?" Nakanishi just smiled and laughed as he stacked his new chips.

The very next hand, Ichinose, who was left with only 9,800, then moved all in against a new player that had just sat down who made the call to put him at risk.

Kosei Ichinose: K?Q?
New player: K?J?

The flop came out 10?J?8? to give the new player the advantage with his pair of jacks, but the runout of 8?A? gave him Broadway on the river to stay alive for the double
