First Blood

With hunger sated and bellies full, the players have returned to their seats. It didn't take long for the first big pot to develop. Yoshihiro Tasaka was the aggressor by raising out of the small blind to 30,000. Chip leader Brian Kang called to a flop of {8-Hearts} {9-Hearts} {10-Hearts}. Tasaka fired out a quick 60,000-chip bet that Kang eventually called. As he was pondering his call, Tasaka put all of his remaining chips in two tall towers. Those towers went into the middle as soon as the {9-Clubs} hit the turn. The count was 235,000, an amount Kang was not willing to risk. He folded.
