Seiki Tanaka doubles up
Three-way action on a flop of 7 ♣️ 8 ♠️ 3 ♥️ with 19,000 in the pot. From the big blind, Hyung Soo Lim fired a pot-sized bet, forcing button player Benas Miksys to fold. Small blind Saiki Tanaka, however, made the call to see the turn.
The 2 ♦️ landed, and Tanaka checked with just 8,500 behind. Lim quickly putting him all in, and Tanaka called for his tournament life.
Tanaka revealed 9 ♠️ 6 ♠️ for an open-ended straight draw against Lim's A ♣️ 6 ♦️ ace-high. The river 9 ♥️ wasn't the straight Tanaka was looking for, but it paired his nine to save him from becoming Flight A's first casualty.
