Hideki Izutsu wins a splashy pot, retakes the chip lead


Hideki Izutsu is back on top! It took this hand to send him past Tamon Nakamura. Six players were in on a raised pot of 45k each preflop. The flop ran 2 2 7. Action folded to the button Tamon Nakamura who laid out a 120k bet that was called by Hideki Izutsu and Hoshi Yuya. On the A turn and J river, no bets arrived. Yuya opened 8 8 but was behind Izutsu’s 9 9. Nakamura mucked.
