Tasaka: {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

Tasaka was calling for a king but the flop left him in trouble when it came {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{8-Clubs}

{8-Diamonds}

. "Jack, ten!" Tasaka started chanting ambitiously, but the turn was the {4-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

to end the hand.

"Anything!" came the sarcastic call from Kang's entourage, knowing that the river was meaningless when it came the {7-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

.

Kang doubles to just under 500,000 with Tasaka now back on the short stack with about 440,000.
