Mitsuki Sakimoto in Full Control

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

Mitsuki Sakimoto

Mitsuki Sakimoto opened 80,000 on the hijack and found two callers behind - Suguru Sawada on the button along with the big blind.

Action on flop A♦ A♥ 2♦ was checked to Sawada, who bet 80,000. Big blind folded while Sakimoto raised back to 250,000. Sawada completed and faced another 400,000 from Sakimoto on turn K♦ .

Sawada called once more and was put in a tough spot just as Sakimoto barreled all-in on river 4♥ . Sawada burnt through all his time banks and eventually surrendered, shipping Sakimoto yet another win.
