Aaron Lim
One of Australia’s highest ranking players, Aaron Lim, landed himself a nice big pot to send him up to 240k. On a flop A-3-4, Nobuhiro Oaohi bet 7500, Lim raised to 18k, Oaohi moved all in, and a snap-call by Lim.
Oaohi A-J top pair
Lim 2-5 straight
The next two cards were no help to Oaohi to send him out.
Aleksei Sei
Catching the action at the shipping, Aleksei Sei asked Koichi Nozaki why he called. No answer seemed to be given by Nozaki. Sei had A♦ A♠ full house that doubled up against Nozaki’s Q♥ J♠ on a board of K♠ 8♣ 8♠ 6♥ 8♥. Nozaki dropped to 11k. Two hands later, Sei took the rest of Nozaki’s chips.

When the flop felted 3♦ J♦ 8♦, Han bet 20k and Yoshimura called. On the 7♦ turn, both players checked. On the K♣ river, another 20k bet by Han, called by Yoshimura. Han opened K♦ 9♦ flush and won the sizable pot with Yoshimura mucking.
Yosuke Otsubo
When we got to the table, Yosuke Otsubo had a 28k bet on the button seat and big blind Kevin Clark was all in for 122.5k. The board was 9♠ 8♣ 5♠. Otsubo tanked then finally called for his tournament life.
Clark 9♥ 5♦ two pair
Otsubo 8♥ 8♠ set
The turn J♠ and river A♠ further secured the win for Otsubo with a flush. Otsubo doubled up while Clark dropped down to 5.5k. Clark was eliminated on the next hand.
The day’s opening chip leaders, Preston Lee and Sunny Jennens seems to have been brought back down to earth. Lee is now sitting with around 135k and Jennens with just above 200k.
The new leaders are Konstantin Pogodin with 350k followed by Keisuki Ouo with 285k.
Konstantin Pogodin
Keisuki Ouo
Chen Song
What a call! Action between Kevin Clark and Chen Song began with everyone folding to the button Clark. He raised to 4500 and Song defended on the big blind. At the flop A♣ Q♣ Q♠, Song bet 6k and Clark called. On the 8♠ turn, Song bet 15k and Clark called. On the 7♦ river, Song checked, Clark bet 15k, and Song tanked for some time that the clock was called. Within the 30 seconds, Song found the courage to toss in the call.
Clark 10♠ 2♠ bluff
Song 3♦ 8♥ pair
Good call by Song who scooped up the pot.
Table 4 had a bit of a shock after big stacked Keisuki Ouo showed his A♦ K♥ fold to Hung Sheng Lin‘s four-bet shove.
Hiroshi Nishiyama
Catching the action on a complete board 5♣ 8♦ A♣ 7♣ A♥ and a pot of 55k in the middle, Hiroshi Nishiyama shoved his big stack sending Morihiko Ogawa tanking. Ogawa eventually tossed in the call for his tournament life and proceeded to get the boot. Ogawa’s A♠ 10♣ trips was no good against Nishiyama’s A♦ 8♠ full house.
Nishiyama up to 220k.
