Rough Start For Watanabe
Level 17
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Taku Miyanaga shipped all in for his last 69,000 from the cutoff. It folded to Takahisa Watanabe in the big blind who announced a call.
Miyanaga: 
Watanabe: 
The board ran out 
and Miyanaga's ace-queen was able to hold as the best hand, doubling him to about 140,000.
The very next hand action came around to Hoang Anh Do who announced all in from the button for 53,000. Watanabe re-shipped all in over the top from the small blind and the big blind folded. Do rolled over 
and was at risk against Watanabe's 
.
Do took the lead on the 
flop and never released his grip on the hand as the 
turned and the rivered. Do doubled to about 108,000 while Watanabe now sits on only 19,000.
