Tatsuya Hirose breathed a sigh of relief after having to hold his breath in a cooler against chip leader Preston Lee. It began with heavy betting preflop.
Tamon Nakamura raised to 3500
P-Lee three-bet to 8k
Jaehoon Lee four-bet to 24k
Hirose all in for 67k
Initial raiser Nakamura folded, Lee raised again to over 200k J-Lee. J-Lee folded, and it was heads up.
Hirose K♦ K♠
P-Lee A♥ A♣
The board ran K♥ 4♠ 7♣ 9♠ Q♣ for a lucky set to Hirose to avoid the rail. He doubled up to 150k. P-Lee dropped back to where he started the day around 280k.
