Japanese players Hisashi Ogi and Hiroyuki Yoshimura go head-to-head in this hand with the champ taken down on a brutal river. The hand set off with Ogi raising to 17k. He was called by Yoshimura and the bb player.
At the flop 9♠ 8♠ 7♠, Ogi bet 30k, Yoshimura raised to 75k, bb check-folded, and Ogi called. On the 2♦ turn, Ogi checked giving Yoshimura the reins. Yoshimura bet 100k, Ogi raised all in, and Yoshimura quickly called.
Ogi Q♦ Q♥
Yoshimura A♠ J♥
The river 4♠ was not what Ogi wanted to see but it was exactly what Yoshimura hoped for. Ogi was eliminated and Yoshimura zoomed to 800k.
