Azusa Maeda slowly chipping up


On a raised pot preflop, fellow Japanese players Yo Doi on the cutoff and Azusa Maeda from the utg seat watched the flop land 4 3 8. Acting first, Maeda bet 6500 which Doi called. At the turn of K both players checked. Then on the river of 9, Maeda checked to Doi who bet 4500. Maeda called. Maeda won with his 9 7 second pair against Doi’s A 4 low pair.  Maeda climbed to over 125K chips.
