GACKT Official Weibo update. Translation below:

I headed out from the hotel at 9 in the morning.
I have to attend the briefing session for the knockout round.
I wonder how long my concentration will last.
I have to hold on for 10 hours for today’s tournament.

The briefing session started, the famous players were being introduced one by one
and the photo call session began.
We’re going to introduce you so will you please come to the center! Just like this I became the center of attention.
No matter how long it has been I’m still bad at being introduced in this way.
And so I greeted everyone while I was being introduced.

After that,
It’s time for Day 1C!
Anyway, it’ll be a long day today.
I was indeed able to maintain my composure while holding my ground
as I steadily made progress.

When Day 1C was left with only 3 hours,
I met the biggest winning point.

Me being the CO, I have on hand Q♠Q❤ .
MP1 showed his cards. [AKo] appeared.
And MP2 was [AQo].

5❤8♠A♣ was on the table.

『Is it for real…』

Didn’t expect it was an A.

After that came the J❤ followed by 7♣ .

With these there’s nothing I could do.
No matter how well I’d plan it, there’s nothing I can do when it comes to this.
Urgh, I still felt terrible.
After resting for a bit I went for a re-entry.
And at the end, I raised up to 50000 points for today.

I’m so tired.
Poker is indeed profound…

How should I do it then to be able to defeat him.
