HomeRough battle for Koji Takagi today with his stack swinging up and up and down and out. He first delivered a bad beat to Chan Tsun Ming early on, plummeted after his queens were cracked by Yi Wei Peng’s set of eights, tripled up to get back in shape, then just now, paid a double up to Natalie Teh. Immediately after, En Ching Wu sent him packing.
On the hand against Teh, we caught it only as it was being paid out. Teh had 3♦ 3♠ set to Takagi’s A♠ K♦ trips on a board A♣ 3♥ 2♥ 9♥ A♦ Teh up to 255k. Next hand, Takagi pushed with suited A-7, got called by Wu with A-Q offsuit, the board ran clean.
