Masato Yokosawa

Masato Yokosawa arrived into town later than he planned, but he came straight to Thunder Valley Casino Resort and immediately entered the tournament.

Soon after he arrived, Yokosawa raises from the button to 1,300, and Donald Maloney calls from the small blind. The flop comes Club 10Heart 10Heart 7, Maloney checks, Yokosawa bets 1,300, and Maloney check-raises to 3,400. Yokosawa tanks for a while before he calls.

The turn card is the Club 4, the Maloney bets 6,500, and Yokosawa thinks for a while before he calls.

The river card is the Spade 3, and both players check. Maloney shows Club 9Club 8 (nine high) for a missed straight draw, and Yokosawa turns over Heart KHeart 9 (king high) for a missed flush draw. Yokosawa wins the pot.

Masato Yokosawa  –  50,000  (83 bb)
