Manabu Sato kicked off the hand with a min-raise then went three-way to the flop with button player Gleb Ershov and big blind Romans Lihacovs.

Sato continued at the flop 10 ♣️ A ♦️ 3 ♣️ for 15,000 and only Lihacovs paid up for a turn card K ♠️. Sato was unstoppable with a 50,000 bet to Lihacovs who eventually sent his hand to the muck. 

PLAYER CHIP COUNT
Manabu Sato 415,000
Romans Lihacovs 406,000
Gleb Ershov 340,000
