Hiroshi Irimajiri and Vivencio Nachor Jr invested 51,000 on the 10♦2♦2♠A♥ turn before checking the J♣ on the river. Nachor Jr tabled his J♠8♣ for jacks and deuces to take down the pot as Irimajiiri somewhat chuckled about the outcome.
Ira Blumenthal raised to 30,000 and then faced the button shove by Sayaka Seshimoto for 189,000. Once he had the exact count verified, Blumenthal announced the call and flipped over his cards.
Sayaka Seshimoto: J♥10♣
Ira Blumenthal: A♣J♠
Neither player connected with the 7♥7♣2♦Q♣5♣ and that spelled the end for Seshimoto.
A short-stacked Joshua Chargualaf put hishopes on the K♣5♠ and Iargo Sebastian reraised out of the small blind with the A♣3♣.
The A♦7♠4♠6♦9♠ board gave Sebastian the top pair and Chargualaf a payout slip.
Junichi Murakami and Kunwoo Kim joined him at the cashier after running out of chips as well.
Tomas Padilla Jr was the first to bust after dinner and Keisuke Kodama followed suit.
Following a raise to 24,000 by Yo Kudo, Kunwoo Kim called on the button. Kodama jammed a short stack in the small blind and Kudo called.
Keisuke Kodama: A♣K♦
Yo Kudo: 9♣9♥
The board ran out Q♥10♥4♦7♥5♦ and the pair held up.
At almost the same time, Jeffrey Calma raised to 28,000 and then folded when Nino Pansier raised big out of the small blind.
Picking up the action on the 10♥6♠6♣ flop, Ivan Tabucal bet 35,000 and Iargo Sebastian called. The same action repeated on the 3♦ turn for 60,000 and the 2♠ river was checked.
Tabucal tabled the K♠J♠ for a bluff and Sebastian won the pot with the 10♦7♦.
Level: 20
Blinds: 6,000/12,000
Ante: 12,000
Six levels of 60 minutes each have been completed thus far and the field has already been whittled down to the last 80 contenders. They have been sent into a 40-minute dinner break and the action will resume at approximately 8.35 p.m. local time.
John Matsuda was the last to fall before everyone headed outside of the tournament break to grab something to eat.
Cher Whey Cheng and Joonhee Yea had previously tangled with the superior end for Cheng but the tides now changed. In a duel big blind versus button, Cheng check-called a bet worth 120,000 by Yea on the Q♠9♣5♦6♣ turn and they checked the K♣ river.
Cheng exposed the A♦Q♥ for a pair of queens but Yea had that beat with the 5♣5♥ for a set of fives.
