Alexis Nicolai raised to 1,400,000 in the hijack before Kazuhiko Yotsushika moved all in for 15,050,000 in the cutoff. Nicolai let out a long, deep sigh and took a minute before calling, having Yotsushika barely covered.

Alexis Nicolai: J♠J♦

Nicolai stormed out of his seat after seeing he had Yotsushika dominated with his jacks. The board ran out A♦7♣5♠4♦K♣ and Nicolai secured the pot to send Yotsushika, the massive chip leader for much of the day, to the rail in seventh place.
