Something For Everyone

Justin Saliba raised to 20,000 on the button with 3♦2♦, and Masato Yokosawa called in the big blind with A♥3♠.

Saliba flopped a wheel straight on 4♦5♥A♠, and, once Yokosawa checked, he bet 10,000, which Yokosawa called.

The 4♣ turn paired the board, and Yokosawa check-called for a second time, on this occasion for 23,000.

The J♠ completed the board, and Yokosawa opted for a third check-call, this time for a chunky 91,000. It was bad news, though, as Saliba tabled his straight, putting a clear distance between the stacks.

On a neighbouring table, Henri Puustinen overcame Michael Berk to advance to Day 2.
