Akira Takasugi

Akira Takasugi limped in from the small blind then called big blind Justin Tsui's 350,000 three-bet. When the dealer fanned the flop 6 T J , Tsui continued the aggression with another 350,000 bet. Takasugi called and they took a trip to fourth street.

The 8 turn was passed up by both for the board to complete with a 9 on the river. Takasugi announced all-in and without asking for a count, Tsui called.

Akira Takasugi: K 8

Justin Tsui: 7 3

Takasugi had mid pair but it was far behind Tsui's straight to end his bid for the title in 3rd place.
