MIke Takayama tanks Tsuchikawa, rises to 660k

It is rare to see Tetsuya Tsuchikawa tank for a long time but it does happen and one of those moment just passed by. Tsuchikawa raised to 25k preflop and both William Ysmael and Mike Takayama called. On the A♣ J♦ 3♦ flop, Takayama checked, Tsuchikawa continued with a 55k bet, Ysmael called, then Takayama check-raised all in. Having Tsuchikawa well covered, this sent the Japanese pro deep in decision. He eventually folded, followed by Ysmael, and Takayama scooped up the pot.

Takayama now at 660k. He is second in chips.
