Derecho's prediction comes to fruition

Level 10: 600 / 1,200 ante: 1,200
Emamanuel Derecho

Folded to the HJ, Filipino ace Vam Magsakay raises to 2,700 and is called by Filipino-Australian Emmanuel Derecho (D), Japan's Ito Kazuki (SB) and Tomoya Kakihara (BB).


The flop is Q 5 A as it gets checked around to Derecho who leads out for 4,200. Kazuki is the only one who calls.


Heads Up to the turn of 6 , Kazuki checks again as Derecho unleashes 15,000 which is still called by Kazuki.


The river card is the K and this time Derecho puts his opponent all in with a bet of 100,000. Kazuki still calls for his tournament life.


Derecho excitedly turns over J T for a made Broadway straight via gutshot on the river. An astonished Kazuki gets booted out holdng A 8 .


Derecho later said that he knew he was going to win that hand even before it started, hence the heavy betting until the end when his prediction finally happened.
