Sakato Doubles Through Akari After Cold Runout
Level 37
: Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante
Action was opened to 1,600,000 by Ghadi Akari in late position. It then folded to Toshimasa Sakato in the big blind who jammed for 10,600,000. The action was back on Akari who got a count and quickly called.
Toshimasa Sakato: A♥6♠
Ghadi Akari: A♠K♥
Akari was in great position to get a knockout and scoop. The Q♠Q♥9♦ flop was great but the 6♣ turn vaulted Sakato in to the lead. The J♥ river would bring no help. Sakato would get a pure double late in Day 3.
