In E2-0, Takizawa is the dealer in a 2nd place tie, 4,900 behind 1st place Daisuke.
Takizawa starts out close to tenpai at 2-shanten, but is lacking in value.To try to get some value, he shifts himself to tanyao in the first row with a chance at a 678 sanshoku. He’s still 2-shanten by the end of the first row, but he’s made good progress in value.
At the start of the second row he secures a 4s pair to secure his 678s sequence. Filling in a 7m kanchan two turns later, he gets to tenpai and calls riichi on a 58p ryanmen. An 8p win will give him a mangan, with a tsumo on it being a haneman.
A few turns later, Katsumata calls pon on the 4p and gets to tenpai on a 7p penchan, also guaranteed a mangan.
Within the go-around, Takizawa draws the high-scoring 8p and wins the hand. Takizawa wins with Riichi/Tsumo/Pinfu/Tanyao/Sanshoku/Ura 1 for 6,000 all, getting him to 43,000.
Final Scores
Standings
After Takizawa won the dealer haneman in E2-0, nobody was able to chase him. As a result of his 1st and Daisuke’s 4th, the Konami Mahjong Fight Club was able to return to their previous position and actually be closer to 1st place than at the start of the day. The 2nd place by Katsumata also brings the team a bit closer. Unfortunately, Team Raiden falls down to the negatives after none of Hagiwara’s riichi calls converted.
And that’s all for the final Monday of the season! Three more days before the end of the finals! Can the Konami Mahjong Fight Club close the gap even further and maybe even return to the top? Can Team Raiden escape the negatives? As always, we’ll just have to wait and see!
