HomeAfter three deals went by and small pots were claimed by three different players, the next hand saw Mitsuru Sano pick up the first big pot. The action kicked off with Aik Chuan raising to 5200 which Liu Yi called. Action next was Sano on the small blind who raised to 16K. Initial raised Chuan opted to fold up but Yi tossed in the quick-call.
At the flop of Q♦ 2♥ 9♥, Sano led for 18k and that was it. He won the pot with a fold from Yi.
