Straight downhill for Mike Takayama; Siyoung Lee soars


Mike Takayama was running very well today, backed by a big stack well above average for most of the day despite losing some flips to a couple of short stacks. Ten spots to the money things went straight downhill for the pro. He was crippled down by Siyoung Lee when he risked it all on 6-7 with the board showing 8-9-10. Lee had the nuts, Q-J.

Down to just 4k, Takayama was all in on the next hand and managed to triple up. However, on the subsequent hand, he was all in again, this time with 14k, and was eliminated by Ken Tai Huang with J J over 10 8 on a board that ran A 3 8 3 J.
