Takuya Makino Off to a Decent Start

Takuya Makino raises to 600 in the cutoff and picks up a call by Seongmin Lee on the button. Kien Duc “Kenny” Tran three-bets to 2,900 in the big blind for both opponents to call.

The flop is checked to Makino, who bets 3,000. Only Lee calls and the same action repeats on the turn for 7,500, Lee comes along. After the river, Makino jams with the superior stack and Lee reluctantly folds.

Takuya Makino – 50,000
Kien Duc Tran – 24,000
Seongmin Lee – 19,500
