The field has already been whittled down to only 139 hopefuls and Kanasuke is still among them. Left with only 59,000, he got it in with the A♥J♣ and Amuoji looked him up with the inferior A♦2♣. Neither player had a spade in their hand to provide no additional sweat to the Q♠9♣6♠8♠ turn. The river was the 3♥ and Kanasuke doubled.

Tomokatsu Kumano was trying to knock out two shorter stacks when yabe8315 was all-in for only 63,000 with the A♣A♦. Maiki had the Q♦Q♣ and Kumano's A♥6♦ needed some help to reduce the field.
The 10♠10♣4♠8♥3♥ board kept yabe8315 in contention. Maiki won the small side pot but bowed out shortly after while yabe8315 also vanished as well despite the triple up in a very fast-paced opening stage.

In a classic flip, JJOGA was all-in with the A♣Q♣ and up against FRANKEL, who had the 10♠10♥. The J♠9♦6♥9♥8♥ board failed to provide any clubs or high enough cards and JJOGA headed to the payout desk.
Many other players waited there already to collect their vouchers as the field quickly lost more than a dozen players as the action resumed.

The current number of remaining players is still being verified but the emcee for the event has already informed all players that the blinds will go up for the next hand after the short break, and that everyone still in contention has locked up a prize to see applause from all over the room.
With a minimum prize locked up, RICH got it in preflop with the K♠J♦ after he had started the day as one of the shortest stacks. Bryan Nakamura went all-in over the top with A♣A♥ and the aces had a sweat but held on the Q♠10♦4♠6♥4♦ board.
