Shintao Sato

Hand 30: Quang Minh Nguyen opened to 600,000 first to act and was three-bet to 2,000,000 by Shintaro Sato in the cutoff. Action folded back to Nguyen, who called.

The flop came 6 4 6 and Nguyen checked to Sato, who overbet shoved for 9,500,000 total. Nguyen tanked, but eventually made the call to put Sato at risk.

Shintaro Sato: A Q

Quang Minh Nguyen: T T

It was a virtual coinflip for the biggest pot of the tournament thus far, and the 5 turn immediately upgraded Sato to a flush to leave Nguyen drawing to two outs.

The 9 river bricked out, however, and Sato was awarded the massive double up to leave Nguyen short.
