Yoshihiro Tasaka looked like he might have adopted a new strategy. Three hands in a row he moved all in, first by opening all in from the button, then reraising all in over the top of Brian Kang (who folded), and the third hand by reraising all in for 174,000 over the top of a 24,000-chip raise from Hidenari Shiono. Shiono pondered his decision for about a minute before shipping thirty yellow (T5,000) chips into the middle. His was dominated after Tasaka impressively turned over . The board ran out no help to Shiono, . Tasaka now has about 360,000 chips.
