Miyoung Cho and Manabu Sato

First to act, Manabu Sato looked down at A ♣️ A ♥️ and raised to 50,000. Action folded around to the big blind Miyoung Cho, she had 10 ♠️ 10 ♣️, and defended with a three-bet to 175,000. Sato flatted to head to the flop.

After the cards came 4 ♠️ 5 ♥️ 5 ♠️, action fired up starting with a c-bet from Cho for 125,000, with around 255,00, Sato announced all in, and Cho quickly called.

Sato seemed to be headed for a double up until a brutal turn landed 10 ♥️ to crack his aces. With the river J ♠️, the very disappointed Sato got up and walked away with hopes crushed on a sick bad beat.
