Farrell Pays the Bill as Kamikawa Triples and Dishongh Takes the Side
Action broke out after Niall Farrell got the action started from the hijack. Kyle Dishongh on the button and Tomohiro Kamikawa in the big blind clashed with Farrell as all the chips got in the middle with Dishongh at risk for 1,180,000 and Kamikawa on the hook for 580,000 total.
Tomohiro Kamikawa: K♥K♦
Kyle Dishongh: Q♦Q♣
Niall Farrell: A♣K♣
Kamikawa held the lead preflop, but with five cards to go, anything could still happen in the critical three-handed pot.
Kamikawa's pocket kings stayed in front on the 9♥7♠5♦ flop.
The 7♣ turn was of no use to either Farrell or Dishongh, and the 3♦ river sealed the deal as Kamikawa scored the triple-up.
Dishongh took the side pot to stay alive in the tournament, while Farrell was left taking the biggest hit after failing to improve on the runout.
