Tetsuya Tsuchikawa joining the fun for some early action here at level 1. He raised to 150 and was called by two players, one of whom was Mike Artis. At the flop of 9♥ 7♣ K♠, Tsuchikawa checked, Artis checked, and the other caller (cutoff seat) bet 300. This was called by both Tsuchikawa and Artis. At the turn of 9♠, action was the same with Tsuchikawa and Artis checking to the cutoff who bet 1000. Tsuchikawa called but Artis raised it up to 2500. The cutoff opted to fold while Tsuchikawa re-raised to 5500. Artis called. With a massive pot brewing in the middle, the dealer felted a 10♦. Tsuchikawa bet 8k and Artis called. Tsuchikawa showed 6♦ 6♣ that was behind Artis’s straight with J♠ 8♠.
