Takakura Shota Chips Up

Level 1: 100 / 200 ante: 200

Shota Takakura

Picking up the action on a three way flop 8♠ 5♣ 4♥ and 2,200 in the middle we see small blind Bernard Chua lead 1,000, cutoff Takakura Shota calls and the button folds to reveal the turn 3♥ where Chua fires a second bullet of 2,000, Takakura calls and the board completes J♥ . Chua completes the triple barrel with another 2,500 bet holding Q♣ Q♦ , but Takakura calls him off with a set 5♦ 5♠ .
