Konichiwa!

Tokyo, Japan is not terribly far away from Manila. It's a roughly five-hour plane ride. It should come as no surprise, then, that a large Japanese contingent made the trek for this tournament. Yesterday Yoshie Watanabe finished the day in the middle of the pack, while Yasuhiro Waki busted early on bad beat. Today there are number of Japanese players in the field today, and are supporting of a variety of poker organizations. Patches on the clothing of Japanese players include JBet Poker, Team J3PT, and Japan Poker League.
