Tayuka Makino Busts; Pete Chen Doubles

Mar 17, 2023

The cards are all but rushed away as Tayuka Makino leaves his seat and the tournament area. With no major momentum in the last couple of orbits, Makino had become a short stack and puts his hopes on the Club KClub 10.

Collin Gentner looks him up with the Diamond AClub 5 and ultimately wins the pot with top pair, while Makino missed out on a gutshot.

One table over, Pete Chen is all-in with a short stack and tables the Diamond AHeart 8. Manuel Braunhofer calls out of the big blind with the Spade 6Spade 4 and Chen survives on the Club QClub 9Spade 3Club 3Spade A runout.

Collin Gentner – 200,000
Manuel Braunhofer – 110,000
Pete Chen – 25,000
Tayuka Makino – Eliminated
