Taguchi Earns a Knockout
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Junnosuke Taguchi had previously been involved in a three-way all-in where he missed an open-ended straight draw. He made up for the losses when knocking out a shorter stack as they got it in after the 6♣5♠2♠A♦ turn. Taguchi's A♠6♥ were ahead of K♠K♥ and that didn't change on the 8♦ river.
The singer-songwriter, actor, and mode is a former member of the Japanese idol group KAT-TUN and official JOPT partner.
