Two More Down the Drain

In quick succession, Mike Takayama busted another opponent. Tran Hung Manh open-shoved for 100,000 with ace-seven and Takayama just flat-called on the button with {K-Clubs}{K-Spades}. The board ran out queen-high and that was it for Manh as well.

Soon after, Aki Virtanen got into a battle with table neighbor Sejin Park and put his hopes on an open-ended straight draw on the {J-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{3-Spades} flop. Virtanen was at risk for 134,000 with {Q-Clubs}{10-Spades} and Park had him covered by far, turned over {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} for top pair and blocked one of Virtanen's outs.

The {7-Hearts} on the turn and the {J-Spades} on the river failed to improve Virtanen and he became the next casualty.
