Motoki Survives


Short-stacked Jinno Motoki held K 3 and he thought suited king-rag was good enough for a shove when he faced a 500 preflop raise from the mid-position player, who made the easy call.

Motoki: K 3
Mid-Position Player: A 5

Motoki needed major help and the flop A 2 3 changed nothing for both players. However, the K landed on the turn giving Motoki the two pairs and the river 7 confirmed his double-up.
