Yotsushika Trips Up Sethi; Sterba Fills Up to Bust Calderone
Around 1,500,000 was already in the pot as Kazuhiko Yotsushika and Vidur Sethi went to the turn on a board of 7♦Q♠Q♦A♠. Yotsushika then bet 1,100,000 from the small blind and Sethi called under the gun.
The river was the 3♥ and Yotsushika bet another 1,650,000. Sethi again called, and Yotsushika turned over Q♥5♥ for trips. Sethi tapped the felt in acknowledgment and sent his cards into the muck as Yotsushika raked in the massive pot.
At the same time at another table, Eros Calderone had moved all in for 1,000,000 from middle position as Jakub Sterba put him at risk in the small blind.
Eros Calderone: K♣9♦ 
Jakub Sterba: A♣K♠
Sterba had Calderone dominated and left him drawing dead after the A♦A♥8♣ flop gave him trips. The K♥ turn improved Sterba to a full house, while the 7♣ river sealed Calderone's elimination.
