Japan's Sojiro Tops Day 1B Chip Count

Level 15: 5,000 / 10,000 ante: 10,000

Sojiro

Leading Day 1B of the Mystery Dragon event is Japan's own Sojiro, bagging up around 650,000 chips to start the day with tomorrow. He managed to surge into the lead right at the end of the day, pipping previous leader Maasa at the post after a precisely executed all-in call on him on the river.

Just 18 survived out of the 156 Day 1B entrants of the Mystery Dragon event, combined with the 15 survivors of Day 1A's 134, there'll be four tables in play when the final day kicks off at 12:00 p.m. tomorrow.

Stay tuned for a comprehensive chip count and recap of the day's action.

Maasa Doubles Takamaru

Level 14: 4,000 / 8,000 ante: 8,000

Takamaru raised to 16,000 from middle position, and cutoff Maasa three-bet to 45,000. Takamaru thought on it for a moment before counting out the call.

Takamaru checked the 5♦ 5♠ 3♠ flop, but when Maasa placed eight 25,000 chips into the middle, he moved the entirety of his short stack in to make the call:

Takamaru: J♠ J♣

Maasa: K♠ Q♦

The remainder of the 2♠ T♦ runout kept Takamaru ahead and secured him the full double from Maasa.

Trips Trip Up Opm

On a board of 2♥ 2♦ 8♦ A♥, three players check-folded button Opm.Se7en's 20,000 bet. Only small blind Masamisama called.
