A short-stacked Peter Plater had previously moved all in without being called, but this time he found two players that looked up the High Roller champion from Australia. One of them was Yan da Tyronne Soh, and the other Sok Meng Hun. Both remaining active players checked down the board 
and Plater announced "I hit the four" before turning over 
.
Soh had that beat with 
for a rivered pair of jacks, while Hun said "you are so lucky" and mucked .

After a raise by Richard Marquez in the hijack, Hisashi Ogi moved all in from the button and Marquez quickly called to put the Japanese at risk.

Yoshiniri Tsuji moved all in for his last 65,200 from under the gun and Yan da Tyronne Soh called from one seat over. Hoang Anh Do took a long time before moving all in from the very next seat. "How much more is it?" Soh asked and took one minute before saying "I guess I have to gamble" and pushed his lucky charm card protector to the middle, announcing a call.
Yoshiniri Tsuji: 
Hoang Anh Do:
Yan da Tyronne Soh:
The 
flop gave Do the lead with a set of queens and Soh was visibly upset, but that all changed on the turn to give him the higher set. Suddenly Tsuji was not drawing dead either with a gutshot straight draw, but the river was a blank to see Soh knock out two opponents.

. Katsushima stacked up to over 260,000 after the hand.
