Yokosawa Breaches 14 Million; Richez Doubles
Level 30
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Ruslan Prydryk raised to 400,000 from middle position and Masato Yokosawa defended his big blind to the delight of his rail. Yokosawa's friends have supported him all day and have been fully invested in every pot that he has played.
Yokosawa check-called for 400,000 on the A?3?8? flop, which brought in the through to the Q? turn. Both players checked and the 10? completed the board.
A few hands earlier, Clement Richez doubled through Prydryk after his dominated Ax8x got there against the latter's AxJx. Richez said he paired his eight on the flop and held out to double.
Yokosawa led out for 900,000 folded out his opponent.
His rail told PokerNews that if Yokosawa goes the distance, poker in Japan would explode and become a hotbed for games.
