Takayama Rivers Straight, Another Double Up


With the flop 10 10 Q already boarded we saw Mike Takayama against a player with a larger stack move all-in putting the former’s tournament life at risk.

The showdown:

Takayama: K J
Opponent: K K

His opponent was ahead but Takayama had outs. The turn Q did not change anything but the river 9 did as it completed the Filipino’s straight and he doubles up to around 32,000. The opponent would be too depressed about his fate and got busted out three hands later.
