HomeOn a flop of 8♣ 10♣ 6♣, Kodai Ishihara shoved but got a rather quick call from Tai Hoang.
Ishihara tabled 10♠ 7♣ for top pair and flush draw while Hoang showed A♣ 9♥ for straight AND flush draw.
Tai Hoang would celebrate right on the turn J♣ and the river K♠ was of no consequence. Ishihara dropped to about two big blinds while Tai Hoang has now over 180,000.
Ishihara got busted out immediately after this hand. We’re down to 42 players.

A pre-flop shove from Czardy Rivera for 18,100 and he got called by Sebastian Benz.
Czardy: J♥ 8♥
Benz: A♥ J♦
The flop A♠ J♦ 6♦ was the worst kind for Czardy and the turn 4♣ and river 10♠ didn’t provide any miracle and one Rivera is out of the Main Event. Brother Mark is still very much in it with around 85,000.
Benz climbed to 150,000 after the win against Czardy.
