The user, @VegasPokerMama, also referenced the original plea for help from Nobuaki Sasaki \u2018Sasa,\u2019 a Japanese poker pro staying with Moriyasu at the Airbnb where he disappeared from on July 2.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to the posts, Moriyasu\u2019s possessions, which included his mobile phone, shoes, suitcase, and rental car, were all left behind at the Airbnb in Spring Valley.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fears grow<\/h2>\n

Sasa stated, however, that his friend\u2019s passport and wallet were missing, the latter allegedly holding his $10k buy-in cash.\u00a0According to reports, Moriyasu had booked the Airbnb for the WSOP event and planned to return to Japan on July 19. <\/p>\n

Metro \u201ccurrently checking places like hospitals\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

His colleague stated there is no record of Moriyasu having entered Japan over the past few days, while Metro is \u201ccurrently checking places like hospitals and detention centers where there might be leads.\u201d<\/p>\n

Moriyasu\u2019s last text message to his friend on July 2 was: \u201cI just got home, I\u2019m heading out now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to a poker media source, Moriyasu had been playing poker since his arrival in Las Vegas on May 25, with his \u201conly recorded cashes coming from three $150 buy-in \u2018Late Night\u2019 events.\u201d Moriyasu had planned to enter the WSOP Main Event but failed to show up for either the starting flights or late registration.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sasa urged people in the poker community with any information on his friend to \u201cplease let me know anything at all.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shades of Brad Booth<\/h2>\n

Sasa\u2019s plea echoes with that of US poker pro Adam Schwartz, who took to X in 2020 to ask for help in finding former highstakes pro Brad Booth<\/a>, who went missing for two months from his home in Reno, Nevada.<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes in life you just have to take a timeout,\u201d was Booth\u2019s explanation when he eventually resurfaced alive and well<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hopefully, for Moriyasu\u2019s friends and family, the missing poker player will return safely to his fold.<\/p>\n
