Mitsuru Sano Doubles Through Yuki Ko

Harunobu Kojima raised to 60,000 from middle position and Mitsuru Sano, who was next to act in the hijack, three-bet to 130,000. Yuki Ko then four-bet to 350,000 from the cutoff and action quickly folded back around to Sano who jammed for a total of 578,000. Ko called to put Sano at risk and the two players tabled their hands.

Sano was way behind with the worse ace and needed help from the deck to preserve his tournament life. The flop paired Sano's queen to give him a big lead and leave Ko in bad shape. The turn and river changed nothing and Sano took the pot to double up.
