It was a bad time for Ishihara Kodai to steal the blinds and antes.
With jack-nine, the Japanese shoved but the small blind, Linh Tran with A♠ J♠ made the snap call as big blind Jojo Tech got out of the way.
The flop A♣ 6♣ 6♦ wasn’t exactly what Kodai was praying for the Japanese was eliminated by the turn 5♣.
Good job, good effort for Kodai. Better one for Tran who climbs to over 570,000 after this win.
