Hand #155: Chris Park Out in 2nd Place ($60,700)

Chris Park raises to 120,000, and Masato Yokosawa calls. The flop comes [10s8c5s], Yokosawa checks, Park bets 140,000, and Yokosawa calls.

The turn card pairs the board with the [5d], Yokosawa checks, Park bets 215,000, and Yokosawa calls.

The river card is the [2h], Yokosawa checks, Park moves all in, and Yokosawa calls.

Park shows [Ah10c] for two pair, tens and fives, but Yokosawa turns over [6h5h] to win the pot — and the WPT title — with trip fives.

Chris Park finishes as the runner-up, earning $60,700.

Masato Yokosawa wins WPT Korea, earning $100,000 and a WPT Champions Trophy. Yokosawa’s prize money includes a $15,400 seat into the season-ending WPT World Championship in April in Atlantic City. This is the first WPT Champions Cup-level event held in Asia, so Yokosawa’s name will be permanently engraved onto the WPT Champions Cup along with all the other WPT champions from the past 12 seasons.

Congratulations to Masato Yokosawa!
