Maaka Tanaka First Casualty on Day 1C

Three ways to the flop, Ravi Metlapalli bets 800 and Yu Zhang raises to 2,300. Maaka Tanaka then reraises to 4,400 and while Metlapalli is thinking, Zhang moves all-in out pf turn by pushing his chip stack to the middle.

The floor is called to clarify the situation and Metlapalli is explained that if he calls, Zhang’s all-in stands while a further raise would give him all options again. Metlapalli tank-folds and Zhang’s now forced push is snap-called by Tanaka.

Maaka Tanaka:
Yu Zhang:

Tanaka instantly leaves his chair knowing that he is drawing dead and the meaningless runout completes the board. “I had king ten,” Metlapalli mentions in the table chat.

Yu Zhang – 63,000
Ravi Metlapalli – 32,000
Maaka Tanaka – Eliminated
