If the hand had discarded {{#mjt:1p}} previously, it would be in furiten. By drawing {{#mjt:3p}} and discarding {{#mjt:2p}}, it now waits on {{#mjt:3p}} and {{#mjt:8m}}. Thus, the hand is no longer waiting on {{#mjt:1p}}, and is no longer in furiten. | |||
Alternatively, a hand can rely on tsumo to win. With a 3-sided wait, this is feasible, and even a 2-sided furiten is strong. | |||
