Despite being very short-stacked all day, Yoshitaka Okawa has been difficult to eliminate. His run however just ended with Wei Guoliang taking the gamble by calling the all in while defending his big blind.
Okawa A♠ Q♣
Wei 9♦ 7♦
The board came 7♥ J♦ 5♠ 5♦ 6♦ for a winning flush to Wei and Okawa out as the bubble. Okawa was bubble-protected so he leaves with a consolation prize of one free seat to any APT Main Event of the same value or the equivalent in tournament credits.
Everyone is now in the money! Race to the Final 8 begins!
