Yokosawa Holds On to Bust Porto
Level 7
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Masato Yokosawa raised to 6,000 under the gun and picked up calls from an opponent in the hijack and Bruno Porto in the small blind. Hanibaal El Saneh then three-bet to 22,500 in the big blind, and all three opponents called.
Action checked to Yokosawa on the 7♣5♦4♦ flop and he bet 25,000. The hijack called, while Porto moved all in for 140,000. El Saneh folded, but Yokosawa called. The hijack also got out of the way.
Bruno Porto: 9♥7♦ 
Masato Yokosawa: J♥J♠
Yokosawa was ahead with his jacks, while Porto had top pair. The 8♠ turn also gave Porto additional outs with a straight draw, but he missed the 5♣ river and Yokosawa took in the massive pot to send Porto to the rail.
