On the full board 5♦ 4♥ 7♠ J♦ 9♠ and around 160k brewed, chip leader Hideki Izutsu bet 100k sending Tamon Nakamura tanking for some time. Nakamura eventually called and mucked while shaking his head upon seeing Izutsu’s A♣ A♦. Izutsu now at 1.2m.
Aleksei Sei won an earlier pot against Sunny Jennens with a check-raise from 40k to 130k on the river with board showing a one card straight J-6-8-7-9. Jennens folded. We saw him claim another pot with a three-bet of 70k on top of Jaepil You’s 25k raise.
On a raised pot preflop and a board felting 4♥ 2♥ J♥, Pak Valeriy checked, Jaepil You bet 100k, Valeriy all in with less than the bet putting himself at risk of elimination.
You A♣ J♠ top pair
Valeriy K♥ 10♦
The turn 6♣ and river 10♣ were not enough to overtake You to send Valeriy packing up in 20th place. He earned ₩2,564,000.
Liu Qiao Nan opened the round with a raise to 18k. Konstantin Pogodin called, then down the orbit Naoki Morita moved all in for 145k. Liu folded while Pogodin called.
Morita 9♠ 9♦
Pogodin 5♠ 5♦
The board ran J♦ 10♠ 9♥ 6♥ A♦ for a double up to Morita.
Inotsume Kazuma was all in with 9-9 and faced Kei Kiyohara with A-Q for his tournament life. The board ran clean until the river when an ace showed up. Kazuma falls in 21st place. He earned ₩2,564,000.
Another short stack got a pump up in chips. Inotsume Kazuma shoved with K♠ Q♠ and got called by Tae Hoon Han with J♦ J♠. The board fell A♥ 4♥ 8♠ Q♦ Q♣. Kazuma now at 200k.
Hiroyuki Yoshimura avoided the rail with a lucky river. He was all in with 5♦ 5♣ and chip leader Hideki Izutsu called with A♥ A♣. The board ran J♠ 4♠ J♣ 6♦ 5♠ for a full house to Yoshimura. He doubled up his short stack and is up to 200k.
First player to bust out was Akihiro Ueda. He was all in with A♦ 4♦ and Jaepil You called with J♦ J♠. A four did show up on the board but not good enough for Ueda to stay in the game.
