A Chip and a Chair for Sasaki
Level 6
: Blinds 0/0, 4,000 ante
Nobuaki Sasaki escaped from losing a bullet when his K♥Q♣ has very little equity versus A♥J♥ after a A♠7♦6♠ flop. The 8♦ turn and 9♠ river brought a straight on the board for the escape.
Soon after, Sasaki got it in with the A♦J♠ and Wei Hsiang Yeu looked him up as slight inferior stack, turning over the Q♣Q♠.
The pocket pair improved to a full house on the A♥Q♥7♣A♣K♠ as Sasaki was denied the second miracle in a row.
