Tsujisaka Building His Stack Back

On a flop of K♦ 9♦ Q♥ , three players checked, leaving the action to Tetsuya Tsujisaka in the cutoff, who fired a 2,000 bet. Hao Huang, on the button, folded, while Oliver Serrie, in the small blind, made the call. Tanawat U-Snit, in the big blind, decided to let his hand go.
The turn brought the K♣ , and the river 2♠ , with both players opting to check it down to a showdown. Tsujisaka tabled Q♠ 6♠ , revealing a two-pair, while Serrie showed T♣ 9♣ , having flopped a pair. With U-Snit already out of the hand, Tsujisaka raked in the pot.
Immediately after that win, though still below the starting stack, Tsujisaka opened to 800. U-Snit once again called, but this time, Melchor Vasquez, now in the big blind, decided to turn up the heat with a three-bet to 3,500. Tsujisaka wasted no time and shoved all-in for around 26,000, forcing both opponents to fold and securing another pot.
