Obara Wins Another Flip Against Cimbolas
Level 14
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
After just flipping with each other, Matas Cimbolas and Jun Obara got into another preflop confrontation which ended with them both committing their stacks to the pot.
Jun Obara: A?K? 
Matas Cimbolas: Q?Q?
Obara was the player at risk with his stack of 125,000 and took the lead on the 3?K?2? flop after he paired his king. Cimbolas would need to find a two-outer, just as Obara did a while ago, if he wanted to eliminate the Japanese player. However, lightning didn't strike twice as the 3? turn and 8? river kept the Big Slick of Obara in the lead.
