Incredible run continues for Yoshitaka Okawa


Yoshitaka Okawa has had only one move for the past level, either fold or shove. He has just doubled up twice, paid a double up, then tripled up to stay in the running.

First double up he had 5 5 and Kai Paulsen with A J. The pair held with no hits for Paulsen. After doubling up, Okawa called Andrew An’s all in. An A 2 and Okawa A Q. The board landed K J 2 K 7 and An doubled up sending Okawa’s chips down to 12k.

Next time Okawa had his chips in, he had A 8 and was up against Paulsen 10-9 and Varun Gupta K-2. The board ran 5-7-Q-Q-3 for ace high good for a triple up. Okawa now back up to 30k.
