Katsuyuki Kondon Has Been Eliminated in 10th Place For PHP 62,000 (~$1,068)

Level 25: 25,000 / 50,000 ante: 50,000

Katsuyuki Kondo

The action folded around to Sarawoot Ratanatabtim in the small blind, who shoved all in. Katsuyuki Kondo was in the big blind and with just 80,000 behind, he put himself at risk.

Katsuyuki Kondo: J♣ 6♦

Sarawoot Ratanatabtim: A♠ K♣

Kondo had less than two big blinds remaining in his stack and felt pot-committed after having invested 100,000 in blinds and antes. With live cards, he certainly was getting right price, but it didn't seem to pay off after the 7♦ Q♦ Q♣ flop kept Ratanatabtim in the lead.

The 6♣ on the turn gave Kondo a glimmer of hope, as he paired his six and had a shot at survival. But that hope was short-lived — the 7♠ river counterfeited his pair, sealing his fate in tenth as the final table bubble boy.

Leung Doubles Up Through Kondo

Level 19: 6,000 / 12,000 ante: 12,000

After a raise from Katsuyuki Kondo from under the gun, King Chun Leung shoved all in for 114,000. After it folded back to Kondo, he called to put his opponent at risk.

King Chun Leung: 9♠ 8♠

Katsuyuki Kondo: J♣ 9♣

Kondo held the lead on the flop of 2♥ 6♣ A♠ , but the dealer quickly sent some bad news as the 8♥ came on the turn, improving Leung to a pair of eights. The river brought the Q♥ , which was no help to Kondo. The pot was sent to Leung, who secured a much-needed double up.

Pressure from Takahashi

Level 18: 5,000 / 10,000 ante: 10,000

Kenta Takahashi opened to 22,000 from under the gun and received three callers: Martin Gonzales from late position, Dongjae Kim on the button, and Katsuyuki Kondo from the big blind.

A flop ran out 3♦ T♦ A♣ , where Kondo checked over before Takahashi continued for 20,000, which was followed by a fold from Gonzales and a call from Kim. When the action got back to Kondo, he mucked. The T♠ fell on the turn, and Takahashi fired out 45,000. Kim called to see a 5♣ land on the river, which Takahashi fired another chunky bet of 85,000 and sent Kim into the tank. After around two minutes, Kim eventually elected to fold.
