Takamasa Kojima

Joseph Magnotti had predicted it "would be funny if you both had sixes" when Cheng Hsu and Takamasa Kojima were about to enter another battle. Not much came out of that hand but soon after they created a pot of around 80,000 and checked the A ♣️ 6 ♠️ 6 ♦️ Q ♣️ A ♦️ river.

Kojima showed the 7 ♥️ 6 ♥️ and Hsu chopped with his 10 ♣️ 6 ♣️ to make Magnotti's prediction come true.
