More Chips Swing Mitsuki Sakimoto's Way

Level 26: 20,000 / 40,000 ante: 40,000

Mitsuki Sakimoto

Facing an open and a button call from Sangwoo Chun, Mitsuki Sakimoto lodged a three bet to 280,000 on the big blind and saw only Chun complete.

On flop 8♣ 4♣ T♣ , Sakimoto continued for 130,000 and was met with an all-in from Chun for around 2,000,000. Sakimoto took the gamble with the nut flush draw A♣ Q♦ and was up against Chun's set 8♥ 8♠ for a massive pot.

Turn Q♣ instantly completed Sakimoto's flush with the river A♠ missing to fill up Chun's boat to send him out.
