Urabe discards a 2-pin, which Ishikawa reveals to be the tile Akagi wanted to win. Everyone is stunned and Kawada asks to Akagi to explain how he had sure Urabe would discard it. He used Osamu to learn about Urabe's habits and style of play, while intentionally sacrificing 8,000 points to hide his own skill. Fearing the possibility of losing money that was not his own, Urabe only discarded tiles he thought were safe, which Akagi subtly influenced him to do so. After the match, Urabe is with his hands wounded and swears he will win over Akagi someday. Akagi then proposes a bet: the 32 million debt against Urabe's two hands, to which a dazed Urabe cannot even reply. (Source: Wikipedia)
