The Japanese Force Strikes Again
Level 6
: 300/600, 75 ante
A plethora of Japanese players are competing on Day 1b and have already made quite some impact. One of them that just caught our attention was Hayato Kitajima. The Japanese had raised and picked up one caller from one seat over to get the remainder of the short stack for around 12 big blinds on a flop of [Qd Rc 2c].
The player at risk put his tournament life on 
for top pair, while Kitajima was only waiting for that and happily looked him up with the 
and grabbed the chips once the 
turn and 
river blanked out.
