Nine quickly became eight with Oliver Cartwright and Keisuke Hikosaka duking it out in a hand that saw the former’s tournament come to an abrupt end.

It was Hikosaka who was the initial aggressor, opening the action from the cut off before Cartwright moved all-in from the big blind with the Japanese player making a speedy call.

Oliver Cartwright: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}
Keisuke Hikosaka: {4-Clubs}{4-Hearts}

Cartwright may have pulled the trigger first but was also the at-risk player and would need to hit to survive. As you can clearly tell from the title of this post, that did not happen with the board running out {9-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{8-Spades}{5-Diamonds} meaning Hikosaka’s pair of fours was enough to win a huge pot and snag the chip lead.

The Japanese player edges slightly in front of Sio Fat Lau with a stack of 108,000 with the remaining players stacking up as follows:
