Yuji Okayama Eliminated

Action folded around to Victor Goossens who raised to 600. Yuji Okayama re-raised to 2,000 and Goossens made the call. The flop came 7-6-5. Goossens checked and Okayama bet out. Goossens raised enough to put Okayama all in and he made the call. The players showed:

Goossens: 9-9
Okayama: A-J

The turn and river were no help to Okayama and he was eliminated. Goossens is now working with about 16,000 chips.

Joe Hachem, Vanessa Rousso, and Isabelle Mercier have all gotten off to a relatively slow start. All are hovering below the starting chip mark of 10,000, but obviously still very much a threat as long as they're still seated.

Yugi Okayama is one of the colorful characters on the Asia Pacific circuit. He is similar in flair to the great Scotty Nguyen, but in a much louder, more boisterous manner.
