Mitsuru Sano

Mitsuru Sano was in the hijack and got into a preflop battle with the player in the big blind. The big blind got all in for about 100,000 and got action from Sano.

Sano’s KdKh was in great shape against the big blind’s QhQc.

The flop was Kc2c2h, leaving the big blind drawing nearly dead. The turn was the 4d and the river was the 5h.

The big blind lost the pot to Sano’s full house and after breaking down both stacks, it was verified that Sano held the slightly bigger stack.

Sano won the pot, the big blind was eliminated and the final 36 players are all guaranteed a cash of at least $441.

Mitsuru Sano – 218,000
