Kanasuke Continues Impressive Surge
Level 21
: Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Kanasuke had qualified for Day 2 with a shorter stack and earned an early double-up. Since he was moved tables multiple times, the stack had grown significantly and he also knocked out Ryo. The latter got it in for a shorter stack with the K♣6♣ and Kanasuke had an easy call holding the A♣A♦.
The A♠J♥3♠7♣ turn left Ryo drawing dead prior to the 7♠ river. With that elimination, all three players shown as Ryo in the official Day 2 seat draw have now been knocked out with fewer than 60 players in contention.
