Justin Tsui

Justin Tsui and Akira Takasugi have been playing nearly every pot together this level, with little action from the other two players.

Tsui opened to 100,000 from under the gun, and Takasugi called from the big blind.

The 2 3 T flop saw both check to the 7 turn.

Takasugi bet out 200,000 and Tsui called.

The 5 river saw Takasugi push out 800,000 and Tsui used a time bank, before calling.

Takasugi showed J 8 and Tsui called with T T for the set.

Julian Warhurst

A few hands later, Julian Warhurst took a tumble from Tsui when he opened to 120,000 on the button and Warhurst three-bet to 340,000 from the big blind.

Tsui moved all in covering Warhurst's 855,000 remaining stack and Warhurst mucked.

In the next hand, Tsui opened to 120,000 and Takasugi called from the big blind.

The K 3 9 flop prompted Takasugi to check, Tsui to bet 90,000 and Takasugi call.

A A was turned and Takasugi checked. Tsui put up 145,000 and Takasugi folded, handing more chips Tsui's way.
