Sasaki Triples
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Seiji Sasaki began the hand flinging in his final 8,500 for an all-in in the cutoff. Christian Hermann called from the button before Mike Pazuki also went all in for 103,000.
Hermann went into an agonized tank and took enough time before someone at the table called the clock. Just as the floorman got to the table, Hermann pitched his cards into the muck, which sent Sasaki and Pazuki into a showdown.
Seiji Sasaki: 9♥6♥
Mike Pazuki: A♠J♥
Pazuki held the lead going into the runout, but Sasaki binked a pair on the 10♥10xQ♣6♠2♥ runout to triple up.
