Mike Takayama

The hand wasn't witnessed in its entirety, but Ren Lin and last night's Super High Roller champion Mike Takayama were embroiled in a pot on the first hand back from the lunch break. With the final three board cards all spades, Lin got his covering stack in and Takayama called it off, tabling a low flush, only to find himself out-flushed by Lin's higher spades.

A short stay at the Superstar Challenge for the new champion.
