Trying 'Tanaka' Them Out; No Action
Yusuke Tanaka opened under the gun to 225,000 and was called by Satar Al-Sadoun to his left, Noah Schwartz in the small blind, and Thomas Skaggs in the big blind.
Four ways and all sitting in tandem, the dealer spread 8♥5♣6♠ for the flop. Both blinds checked, as did Tanaka and Al-Sadoun.
The dealer revealed the A♣ on the turn and another round of checks occurred. The 7♥ on the river made the board even wetter. Both blinds checked, but this time Tanaka bet 700,000. Al-Sadoun took some time deliberating before slowly pushing his hand in the muck. Schwartz followed suit with a quick flick of the wrist, leaving it on Skaggs to deliberate. He folded, too.
Schwartz asked Skaggs if he folded 9x7x and the latter didn't give anything away as he shrugged off the question.
