Masa Kagawa Chips Back Up

May 15, 2011

The very next hand after doubling up Cliff Josephy, Masa Kagawa tangles in a hand with Tyler Smith.  It is a blind vs. blind confrontation as the flop comes down [Qd5c4s].  Kagawa bets 2,500 from the small blind and Smith raises to 6,200 from the big blind.

Kagawa reraises to 12,700 and Smith eyes Kagawa’s stack.  He thinks for a couple of minutes before making it 22,300 to play.  Kagawa doesn’t think too long before announcing he is all-in for another 80,000 or so.  Smith quickly folds and Kagawa takes the pot.

Masa Kagawa – 130,000
Tyler Smith – 96,500
