Daisuke Ogita Bubbles €10,300 High Roller
The big blind ante dynamic created a very interesting situation involving Daisuke Ogita and Takumi Samejima. Players were sat next to one another with Ogita under the gun.
He had 25,000 in chips with Samejima sitting with 18,000 in chips. Despite of this, if both players folded and were subsequently eliminated when Samejima was in his big blind, it would be Samejima - the short stack at the moment - who would collect the payout because he would have more chips at the time he was all in.
Therefore, the onus was on Ogita to double up or at least chip up. He shoved from under the gun for 25,000 - Samejima folded - and Rafael Moraes called blind in the big blind.
The remaining hands were all finished and the cards were turned over.
Rafael Moraes: 
Daisuke Ogita: 
Ogita was ahead, but the 
flop favoured Moraes. The Brazilian called for a six, with tablemate Max Silver calling for a seven, and the turn was the 
offering Ogita some counterfeit outs. The river was the 
and Ogita was eliminated, ensuring the remaining 79 players €17,810.
