Takayama Out Before the Dinner Break

Level 8 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Chung Chuen Co was spotted raking in a big pot and the cards as well as the board were still tabled while most other players had already left for the dinner break. On a board of {j-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{3-Spades}{9-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}, he had looked up a shove by Mike Takayama and was shown the {8-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for a gutsy bluff with the missed flush draw.

Co's {q-Spades}{q-Clubs} for queens and treys were good enough for the knockout as he leaped to a seven-figure stack.
