Jessie Leonarez opened to 110,000 and Hayato Kitajima moved all in for 945,000 from one seat over. Aaron Lim asked for a count in the small blind but elected to fold, so did Thomas Lee in the big blind. Leonarez snap-called and immediately pumped his fists to the local rail when seeing the cards of his opponent.

Leonarez: {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}
Kitajima: {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}

The {4-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{9-Diamonds} flop was save for the Filipino, but he almost had a heart attack on the {9-Spades} after thinking it was the eight. His rail asked for an ace and sure enough the dealer burned and turned the {A-Clubs} to eliminate Kitajima in 6th place for PHP 873,000.

The Japanese then stayed for a group selfie with his friends and other Japanese media in front of an APPT banner before collecting his payout.
