Aburatani Gets Put to the Test
Action was picked up on the turn in the A$1,500 Opening Event, with a big hand brewing in a multi-way pot with the board showing 8♣A♣8♥10♦.
Itsuki Aburatani in the small blind checked to Eng Chhor in the big blind, who bet out 1,500,000. Josh Duce on the button folded, and Aburatani made the call.
After the Q♦ on the river, Aburatani checked to Chorr, who moved all in for Aburatani's stack of 12,250,000.
Aburatani was visibly disgusted about the spot and went into the tank for several minutes.
After getting up and out of his seat several times, Aburatani found the call. Chhor tabled 10♣5♣ for tens and eights, but Aburatani turned over the winner with A♥10♠ for aces and tens to secure the double up and overtake the chip lead.
