Tanaka Makes Great Read

[user67765]

Ivan Tan opened with a raise to 1,650 and Nobbi Tanaka made the call. Phil Lau then moved all in over the top for all of his 17,625 chips. Tan folded as Tanaka went into the tank. He eventually made the call and it was the right one as his {10-Clubs}

were well ahead of Lau's {7-Spades}

.

The board ran out {2-Spades}

and Lau is eliminated as Tanaka jumps to 41,000.

"You know what it was Mick?" Tanaka said to Michael Guzzardi seated at his table, "His nose flared!"

Guzzardi replied "What if it flared when he had jacks?"

Tanaka laughed "Then I'm f%#ked!"
