Ryota Sakurai bubbles Main Event Day 1A

Level 15: 2,000 / 4,000 ante: 4,000
Ryota Sakurai

Facing a similar situation to that of Jester Intia earlier, Philippine pro Jose Colada had to make a decision folded to him in the BB facing a shove from the +1 by Ryuta Sakurai of Japan. The all-in of 54,500 was substantial but with over 300,000 in chips, Colada decides to go for it and calls.


Sakurai flips over A J while Colada shows A 4 , a dominated situation.


The first three community cards, however, gives the Filipino the lead: 9 4 6 .


The next two community cards of 3 6 seals the deal and the bust out of Sakurai now guarantees that the remaining 12 players will be get a chunk of the prize pool and will be returning for Day 2 on Saturday, September 28.

Sakurai caught by Nagy

Level 8: 500 / 1,000 ante: 1,000
Ryota Sakurai

The shift to Level 8 is greeted with some minor bullying by Slovakia's Andrej Nagy as he raises from the D for 1,800 and gets a call from Japanese player Ryota Sakurai in the BB.


The flop comes 9 3 T as both players check.


The turn is the 2 to which Sakurai fires a bet of 2,400. After some thinking, Nagy calls.


The river shows the 7 and suddenly Sakurai goes off for a bet of 10,000. Nagy tanks longer but still makes the call.


Sakurai gets caught as he shows 8 5 while Nagy tables A 7.
