Level 9 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Randy Lew opened first to act and received three callers including Kazuhiko Yotsushika and Phachara Wongwichit in the big blind.

Kazuhiko Yotsushika:

The on the river brought no upset and Lew secured the double.

While all players headed out of the tournament area right after as level nine drew to an end, Yasreel Praveen Doddaiavar won a flip against an opponent with ace-king against pocket fives after spiking a straight on the river. Doddaiavar, who already led the Short Deck Ante-Only Event as chip leader into the final day, may very well do the same for the Super High Roller.
