Nakai Continues to Climb

Dan O'Hair
Dan O'Hair
Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Ryuta Nakai raised to 1,100 for the hijack and was called by Erik Baum in the small blind and Deborah Balderas in the big blind.

Action checked to Nakai, who continued for 1,000 on a regal looking A♥K♥J♥ flop. Baum called and Balderas folded.

Baum check-called a 2,100 barrel from Nakai on the 6♠ turn, but check-folded facing a 3,500 bet from Nakai on the 9♥ river.
