Daisuke Ogita Bubbles €10,300 High Roller

Will Shillibier

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

The big blind ante dynamic created a very interesting situation involving Daisuke Ogita and Takumi Samejima. Players were sat next to one another with Ogita under the gun.

He had 25,000 in chips with Samejima sitting with 18,000 in chips. Despite of this, if both players folded and were subsequently eliminated when Samejima was in his big blind, it would be Samejima - the short stack at the moment - who would collect the payout because he would have more chips at the time he was all in.

Therefore, the onus was on Ogita to double up or at least chip up. He shoved from under the gun for 25,000 - Samejima folded - and Rafael Moraes called blind in the big blind.

The remaining hands were all finished and the cards were turned over.

Rafael Moraes:
Daisuke Ogita:

Ogita was ahead, but the flop favoured Moraes. The Brazilian called for a six, with tablemate Max Silver calling for a seven, and the turn was the offering Ogita some counterfeit outs. The river was the and Ogita was eliminated, ensuring the remaining 79 players €17,810.

Player	Chips	Progress
Rafael Moraes	455,000	115,000
Takumi Samejima	18,000	-2,000
Daisuke Ogita	Busted
