We are now at 12 players remaining and with it came Kimihura Nakamura on the rise. He won two pots back-to-back to bring his stack to 840k. We caught the action of the first pot with a board showing K♦ 4♥ 4♠. Nakamura and Kitauchi Yoshihiro checked and the turn felted K♣. Yoshihiro bet 200k, Nakamura moved all in, and won the pot when Yoshihiro folded.
The next hand Nakamura was up against Yuichi Sumida. Nakamura raised to 40k and Sumida called. On the flop of 3♠ 10♦ J♥, both checked and the turn fell 3♦. Sumida led for 48k, got raised to 200k. Nakamura won it with Sumida folding up.
