HomeLast three hands, Masakazu Miyamoto has been on a roll but Mike Larsen finally put a stop to it.
On a board of Q♥ K♠ 9♠ 5♣ and a pot already very healthy, Larsen put all of his chips to the middle worth around 8,100
Miyamoto was sent deep into the tank but eventually folded. The Japanese drops to around 33,000 while Larsen climbs to over the average with roughly 25,000.
Preflop, Masakazu Miyamoto opened to 225, which the mid-position player called. Buttton made it 700 and Miyamoto would have none of it and three-bet to 1,750.
MP player got out of the way and button player made the call to bring the flop K♣ 4♣ 3♥.
Masakazu fired away 2,600 to force the fold from his opponent. Like Japan’s bullet train, Miyamoto is off to a fast start today with well over 45,000 now.

We called it, Masakazu Miyamoto is in a bit of a roll and and is quite active on his table.
Preflop, he raised to 150, which the button player called. Big blind player re-popped to 625 and both players originally in the pot called.
Flop: 6♠ 7♠ 2♦
BB led out with 1,025, button folded and Masakazu made it 3,050. Big blind shoved and Masakazu called!
Masakazu: A♠ 10♠
Big Blind Player: K♣ 6♣
The BB was ahead but it wasn’t long as the dealer tabled the turn A♣ and the river 4♠ just confirmed his elimination.
Masakazu climbs to around 40,000 after this hand.
You have our attention, Mr. Masakazu Miyamoto.
We saw him getting the chips from the middle worth around 10,000– easily putting him over the 30,000 mark this early. Not a bad start for for the Japanese.
A very wet board of 10♠ 9♠ Q♦ 10♦ J♠ and a very healthy pot of around 8,000 was a very attractive proposition for Anton Lim.
He bet 3,500 or just below half the total chips in the middle and found a caller from the small blind… Lim showed 9♦ 10♥ for the full house and the opponent mucked his hand.
Kent Del Rosario opened to 200 and saw both blinds call to bring the flop 7♦ 5♥ K♠, which was checked by both small and big blinds.
Del Rosario fired another 400– and this early in Day 1B, good enough to force the fold from the blinds.
