Tatsuya Hirose

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.
