Masaki Hangs On

[user75032]

A tough day for Yuji Masaki isn't going to get any easier. He has been relentlessly anted and blinded down, the point where he had only 8,000 chips left. He put them all in from the big blind before small blind Wooka Kim could act. She called anyway, showing {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

{3-Spades}

and surprisingly was ahead of Masaki's {4-Spades}

{4-Spades}

{2-Clubs}

. But Masaki hit a four on the {k-Clubs}

{k-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

{4-Diamonds}

flop, and although the {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

provided some drama, Masaki was in the clear when the {j-Spades}

{j-Spades}

hit the river. He's still very short, but now has 20,000 chips to work with.
