Kotake Takes Biggest Pot Yet
Level 44
: 2,500,000/5,000,000, 5,000,000 ante
Ryo Kotake went all in on the button for 74,500,000 chips. Wai Kit Lo, the chip leader at the final table since play began more than two hours earlier, studied long and hard over the decision to call or fold.
He made the call.
Ryo Kotake: A♠5♥
Wai Kit Lo: K♥Q♠
Lo was excited about the flop — he paired his king — but the rast of the runout J♦K♠7♠9♠4♠ was painful as four consecutive clubs were placed on the board, giving Kotake an ace-high spade flush and the chip lead.
