Daisuke Ogita Calls Down Alex Puchalski

Level 12: 1,500 / 3,000 ante: 3,000

WPT Prime Cambodia champion Alexander Puchalski is back on the beat and looking to be the first to win both flagship events. He opens from early position for6000 and heads to the flop 6♥ A♣ J♦ with callers Josh McCully and big blind Daisuke Ogita.

Puchalski continues for 6500, only Ogita joins him to the turn 2♣ where Puchalski fires a much more threatening 25,000. However, Ogita is unshaken and flats. The river 4♣ is checked by both. Ogita shows A♦ 9♥ and wins the pot with Puchalski mucking.
