HomeWe just discovered that the player missing in action is in fact a double qualifier by the name of Saitoh Ryuichi. He is in the field with however he just lost a pot against Fokin Valeriy.
The hand kicked off with Saitoh raising to 3k and Valeriy making the call. At the flop 8♣ A♠ 2♦, Saitoh fired another 3k and Valeriy called. On the 8♥ turn, same action with a 2500 bet that was called. Then on the 5♥ river, no bets came, Saitoh had A♥ 4♣ two pair but was out-kicked by Valeriy’s A♣ 10♠.
