Nakagawa smooth-calls for a higher pair


With five players in a limped pot, the board ran 5 5 7. John Tech initiated the betting round with a 600 drop which Hajime Nakagawa called while the others folded. At the turn of 6, Tech continued to bet and laid out 1,100 which Nakagawa smooth-called again. Then on the river of 9, Tech bet a small 200 and Nakagawa once again matched it. Tech showed 10 7 which was good at the flop but not with Nakagawa’s A 9 that found a higher pair on the river.
