Two More Down the Drain
Level 18
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
In quick succession, Mike Takayama busted another opponent. Tran Hung Manh open-shoved for 100,000 with ace-seven and Takayama just flat-called on the button with 
. The board ran out queen-high and that was it for Manh as well.
Soon after, Aki Virtanen got into a battle with table neighbor Sejin Park and put his hopes on an open-ended straight draw on the 
flop. Virtanen was at risk for 134,000 with 
and Park had him covered by far, turned over 
for top pair and blocked one of Virtanen's outs.
The 
on the turn and the 
on the river failed to improve Virtanen and he became the next casualty.
