They all checked through a flop and it was Yotsushika that bet the turn for 35,000. Lew check-raised to 75,000 and called the shove of his opponent for the following showdown.

Kazuhiko Yotsushika:

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.
The remaining players will now be taking their last 10-minute break of the night. The late registration period will remain open until the end of this break and the next level begins.
Danny Tang re-entered before the start of level nine and Phachara Wongwichit was eliminated soon after the cards went back in the air.
Wai Wa Chan avoided the elimination when he jammed into a raise to 23,000 by Steve Hyung and a call by Lei Yu on the button. Hyung folded, but Yu called the 11 big blinds in total.

After a full thirty seconds of thought Lew chucked his cards into the muck, sending the pot to Soyza.
The cards of Wai Kiat Lee were already in the muck and Hiroyuki Noda had the winning hand with for top pair on a flop.

Jun Obara:
Wayne Zhang:
The flop came down and Obara picks up a flush draw. A hits on the turn and Obara will need a queen or club to stay alive. The dealer turned over a as a river, giving Obara the flush and it would be good to double through Zhang.
The board was reading and the pot had around 180,000 in it. Dong Chen checked to Kazuhiko Yotsushika who moved all in for 195,000 and Chen snap-called.
Yotsushika tabled for two pair and Chen showed for a turned flush, scooping in the pot for a full double through Yotsushika.
