Mitsuru Sano was down to 260k but has come right back up after winning three consecutive pots that reached the river. The most recent pot was in a three-way unraised pot that saw a flop run 5♣ A♠ 4♠. Action checked to him on the button and he bet 16k. Both players called and the turn 8♠ brought more chips in. Aik Chuan bet 28k, Liu Yi folded, then Sano raised to 56k which Chuan called. On the 5♦ river, Chuan checked, Sano shoved, and he won the pot with Chuan folding.
Sano now up to 490k.
