Out of the small blind, Tetsuro Tomita raised to 36,000. Kenny Shih three-bet to 125,000 and snap-called all-in when Tomita pushed.

Kenny Shih: JJ
Tetsuro Tomita: KQ

The pocket pair remained ahead on the 1097103 runout as Shih doubled for 324,000.

"No more four-betting, I am not folding," Shih joked to Archie Mariano.

A new "old" player then arrived who had been balanced away, having missed just one hand as the field was down to the last nine tables.
