The action has really tightened up with the field just three spots from the money.

Motoyoshi Okamura raises from the hijack to 12,000, the player in the cutoff calls, and Michael Gathy reraises from the small blind to 48,000. Okamura calls and the cutoff folds.

The flop comes Heart 10Spade 6Heart 3, Gathy bets 55,000, and Okamura calls.
