Takemi Munakata Flops a Set to Knock Out a Player

Oct 5, 2019

Five players see a flop of Spade KClub JHeart 8, and both blinds check. Takemi Munakata bets 4,000 from under the gun, and the next player moves all in for 11,775 from middle position. The next three players fold.

Munakata quickly calls with Diamond 8Club 8 for a set of eights, and the middle-position player groans as he turns over Diamond KHeart 10 for a pair of kings. He’ll need to catch something runner-runner to stay alive.

The turn card is the Heart 4, the river card is the Diamond A, and the set of eights holds up for Munakata to win the pot and eliminate his opponent.

Takemi Munakata  –  75,500  (151 bb)
