Odani Secures Chip Lead With Monster Draw

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Takumi Odani
Takumi Odani

Takumi Odani kicked off the action with a raise to 2,000 from under the gun. Luc Ramos then called from the next seat over, as did Paul Covaciu in the cutoff.

Rene Keller then went all in for 10,000 from the button and Odani called before Ramos got out of the way. Covaciu also came along and a flop of 1086 was dealt.

Odani checked before calling a 9,500 bet from Covaciu. On the A turn, Odani checked once more before being faced with an all-in wager of 38,300 from his opponent. He thought it over for a minute or so but ultimately decided he could not fold and put in the call, leading to a three-way showdown.

Rene Keller: 76
Paul Covaciu: A10
Takumi Odani: J9

Covaciu was ahead with his two pair, but Odani had a plethora of outs with his straight and flush draws. Keller was still drawing live as well, but the Q river made Odani his straight, resulting in the elimination of both of his opponents.

By winning this pot, the Japanese player crossed the 200,000-mark and is chip-leading the field on Day 1a of the Eureka Main Event.
