Yokosawa Loses a Pot; Remains Big Stack
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
According to French poker media, Masato Yokosawa soared near the top of the leaderboard a few minutes ago when he knocked out Clay Johnson in a four-bet pot when the latter called a shove on the 7♣6♠2♦3♠ turn with pocket nines. Yokosawa had pocket aces and held on the Q♣ river.
Yokosawa put the new found chips to use with a raise to 85,000 in the cutoff and Robert French defended the big blind. French check-called the A♦10♠3♦ flop for 55,000 and the 4♥ turn for 165,000.
French also checked the J♠ river and Yokosawa bet 400,000. The check-shove by French followed and Yokosawa instantly folded.
"He is human!" Christopher Kimmel in the nine seat exclaimed.
