In E4-1, Kurosawa is in 2nd place, just 2,200 behind 1st place dealer Takizawa.

Kurosawa starts out the hand pairing up the 1s dora to get to 2-shanten. By her second turn, she gets to iishanten. Filling in a 5m kanchan on turn 5, Kurosawa gets to tenpai and calls riichi on a 1s/1p shanpon.

To her left, Okada already has a white dragon triplet and gets to iishanten during the ippatsu round. In the middle of the second row, Okada calls a 456p chii and gets to tenpai on a 5m kanchan. A turn later, Okada improves to a 58m ryanmen.

In the third row, Kurosawa draws the dora 1s and wins the hand. With the uradora flip, Kurosawa’s 1s becomes double dora for a huge upgrade. Kurosawa wins with Riichi/Tsumo/Dora 3/Ura 3 for 4,000+100/8,000+100.

Towards the end of the second row, Takizawa gets to tenpai and calls riichi on a 47s ryanmen. On his very next draw, he gets the 4s and wins the hand. With an uradora hit, Takizawa wins with Riichi/Tsumo/Pinfu/Aka 2/Ura 1 for 6,000+100 all.
