John Matsuda

Kim Jiyoung of Korea opens from the HJ for 1,800 and gets a call from Japan’s John Matsuda on the D.

The flop is T♣ K♣ Q♦ as Kim continues for 1,600. Matsuda calls. The turn is the 3♥ and the Korean keeps going, this time for 4,000. Matsuda sticks around. The river is the 4♦ and this time both players opt to take it to showdown.

Kim shows 5♦ 5♥ while the player from Japan turns over K♥ 9♥ for top pair on the flop.

With the wins, Matsuda now eclipses the 100,000 chip mark.
