Yasuhiro Yamamoto
Table #23 erupted into chaos as four players found themselves tangled in a massive all-in confrontation. Amid the confusion, it was unclear whether Yasuhito Yamamoto or Batmunkh Unubukh fired the 14,000 bet and who made the call, but the tension peaked as Kaito Hashimoto, and Po Lam Lun were both already all-in and committed to the pot.
The dealer spread K 9 7 , with Hashimoto watching intently as Lun quietly whispered a prayer. Unubukh fired 30,000 and with only 17,400 behind, Yamamoto made the call putting his tournament life at risk and taking all four players to the much-awaited showdown.
Kaito Hashimoto: T T
Po Lam Lun: J 4
Yasuhiro Yamamoto: 8 8
Batmunkh Unubukh: 3 3
Hashimoto let out a cheer, sensing a chance to quadruple up. The turn brought the 6 , giving Yamamoto a straight draw and opening the door to a potential upset.
The drama peaked on the river when the T hit, completing Yamamoto’s straight and sending two players to the rail as he scooped the massive pot.
