>Owata: The first image of this hand is already the win (laughs). Certainly this hand was quick, I ponned double Ton and then the winning 7s came out soon. There was one choice where I picked the 7s kanchan after seeing both opponents discard 8s, which made that wait look good.
>---: You were rewarded with this because you made good plays so far.
>Owata: You're basically saying I had good flow (laughs). I don't hate that thought, but let's not get carried away. At the time I was excited and kept thinking "At this point it's basically guaranteed, right?" The promotion to first ever tenhoui was coming into view.
TN: This was mentioned in the interview I skipped, but at this point in time there were no yonma tenhoui. So Owata wasn't just the first sanma tenhoui, he was the first tenhoui in general.
>---: So you were aware of it?
>Owata: Of course I was. I tried not to let it distract me, but I was certainly well aware of it.
