Sekiya loses race for tournament life (3rd – $48,700)


Button player Thang Truong raised to 100K preflop but saw Sekiya Yosuke move all in! Next to act, Khac Tran asks for a count… 865,000 says the dealer and he spends some time in the tank before making the call.

Showdown!

Yosuke: A 9
Tran: 6 6

Classic race for what could cost Sekiya’s tournament life… Flop Q 2 7 provided no help for Sekiya at all; turn 4 and river 5 couldn’t save the Japanese too and he’s is out of the tournament.
