Toshimasa Sakato takes two

Toshimasa Sakato

Toshimasa Sakato has tripled up his stack since the start of day. He entered with 74,500 and now has over 230k. We caught him picking up two pots back-to-back.

First pot, on a flop of K♣ Q♦ 7♠, he bet 20k and Shinji Sugeta called. On the turn 3♥. Sakato had 9♣ 9♥ and Sugeta mucked.

Next hand, Shiga Mitsuhiro limped from the button and so did Sakato on the small blind. Big blind Soichiro Kojiya checked. At the flop K♣ 2♦ 8♦, action checked to Mitsuhiro who bet 10k. Sakato check-raised to 20k. Sakato won it with both players folding.
