WAWAWA Near the Top of the Leaderboard

Christian Zetzsche

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

A big stack for some time, WAWAWA tried to knock out a shorter stack with 4♥4♦ versus A♠5♦ but both overcards came on the A♥10♥9♠5♥K♣ runout.

He then lost another showdown pot but made up for both hands when defending out of the big blind in three-way action. WAWAWA check-called the 10♥8♣7♦ flop for 5,000 and did so for 10,000 on the 5♠ turn. The 6♣ river was checked and the A♦10♠ of WAWAWA were good.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

He may have had the sixth sense to get the chips in when sixsense raised and called the shove of a shorter stack to flip with 3♣3♠ versus A♠Q♠. The Q♦J♣3♦ flop had him well out ahead but the J♥ turn provided an unlikely sweat, which never completed on the blank 5♦ river.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Hiroshi raised to 4,000 and the player to his right made it 14,000 to go. taisyo then four-bet to 36,000 and only the three-bettor called with some 29,000 behind to call all-in after the Q♠9♦6♣ flop. Their A♦K♣ had a mountain to climb versus A♠A♥ with taisyo on the verge of another knockout. The J♠ turn opened a gutshot but the J♦ river only paired the board.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

When checked to, Andrew Tomoya bet the K♦8♣7♦ flop for 6,500 and his sole opponent called. They then led the A♠ turn for 15,000 and that's what Tomoya had behind. With very brief consideration, Tomoya folded the K♠ face-up.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

With some 80,000 in the pot to the A♦J♥4♦7♠6♦ river, Wakabayashi bet 10,000 and then faced the instant shove of his opponent for more than 200,000. After going into the tank for a short while, Wakabayashi called and was good with A♠2♦ to double got 111,900, as he was only shown 10♦10♣ for an inferior pair.

Wakabayashi was also the family name of the goalkeeper in the popular animated series Captain Tsubasa here in Japan.
