Shintaro Sato

Hand #92: Shintaro Sato shoved 700,000 from the button and William Li called in the big blind.

Shintaro Sato: K 6

William Li: A 2

Could Li clinch the title at the first time of asking? The 9 8 J flop made it more likely as Li's ace-high was still in the lead.

Sato picked up a few more outs on the 7 turn as he added a straight draw, meaning he needed a ten to chop, or a king, six, or five to double up.

However, the Q river was a brick, meaning Sato had to settle for second and Li was the Main Event champion.
