Ryo Kotake

Ryo Kotake opened 33,000 and down the round, Hsing Hsiung Tai didn't realize there was a raise before him and slid out one T-25K chip while saying raise. He was forced to min-raise to 49,000.

When action swung back to Kotake, he jammed and in a snap, Tai called with a covering stack.

Ryo Kotake: A ♥️ A ♣️

Hsing Hsiung Tai: A ♦️ K ♦️

Kotake turned over the nuts and with his streak of good fortune so far, he was in good shape to double up.

That was the case when the board bricked for Tai to lose more than half of his stack.

Hsing Hsiung Tai
Player Chips
Ryo Kotake 618,000
Hsing Hsiung Tai 228,000
