There are 24:45 minutes left in the level and the redraw of the final nine players is as follows.
| Seat | Player | Country | Chip Count | Big Blinds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Kanasuke | Japan | 2,600,000 | 13 |
| 2 | PINZMAN | Japan | 4,700,000 | 24 |
| 3 | Ryuseiii | Japan | 5,700,000 | 29 |
| 4 | Takeshi | Japan | 5,125,000 | 26 |
| 5 | mashipi | Japan | 9,700,000 | 49 |
| 6 | SU__ | Japan | 3,100,000 | 16 |
| 7 | Nakaten | Japan | 5,300,000 | 27 |
| 8 | Jun Obara | Japan | 5,075,000 | 25 |
| 9 | Jiro3 | Japan | 6,925,000 | 35 |
Jun Obara doubled PINZMAN when his jam with 8♦5♣ was called by A♣4♣ and the ace remained ahead on a board of 9♥6♦2♣K♠10♠.
Soon after that, the former stage table chip leader Masaki jammed out of the small blind into the big blind of Jiro3 and both had near even stack sizes.
Masaki: A♦6♦ 
Jiro3: 7♠7♦
The suited ace gained no equity on a board of 10♣5♣4♠10♥K♥ and both stacks were counted. Jiro3's 3,475,000 covered and that reduced the field to the final nine players, which are now on a break prior to the final table start.
Prior to the previous elimination, SU__ was all-in for only 800,000 in the cutoff and Kanasuke called on the button.
SU__: J♠10♦
Kanasuke: K♣Q♠
The inferior hand got there with the 10♥9♦2♠6♠A♦ board and SU__ doubled.
He also took a chunk of the outer table chip leader after with A♥3♦ against the A♠5♣ of Nakaten. The K♦7♥6♥4♠5♠ board gave him the bottom end of the straight to double for 1,825,000.
Level: 30
Blinds: 100,000/200,000
Ante: 200,000
The next all-in and call saw Yuta at risk against the red-hot running Nakaten in the next seat.
Yuta: A♠Q♠
Nakaten: A♣K♥
The K♣9♠3♥2♥3♦ board spelled the end for Yuta in 10th place.
Over on the outer table, Asurista was all-in with a short stack and tabled the K♥6♣, as he was up against Ryuseiii with the A♥Q♣.
The A♦9♣8♦6♠7♥ board was of no help for Asurista and he was knocked out in 12th place for $1,876 in JOPT passports.
Nakaten raised and then called the short stack shove by Yuta with the 4♠3♠ as very large stack on the second table. Yuta's Q♥10♥ were ahead but the K♦5♠2♣ flop was a massive sweat. Yuta picked up a straight draw himself with the [7Jd6 turn, the 7♣ river changed nothing.
At almost the same time, there were two all-in and call and both shorter stacks busted.
Bryan Nakamura was all-in and in dire need of help with the K♥7♥. Kanasuke had the A♥K♠ and neither player connected with the J♦9♣5♠8♣Q♦ board as Nakamura had to settle for 14th place worth $1,618 in JOPT contracts.
Day 1a chip leader taisyo was the next casualty when he three-bet jammed with A♦10♦ into the A♠K♣ of mashipi and couldn't hit anything. Before the start of the day, taisyo had said he "will do his best" and certainly diud so with a deep run in 13th place for $1,876 in JOPT contracts.
Over on the feature stage, Chris Money kicker had seen his stack plummet to around one million and they went in with the K♦10♠. Takeshi looked him up with the superior A♠10♥ and the A♥8♣2♦6♥8♦ board left the player with the best nickname drawing dead in 15th place.
At the end of the previous level, ryota622 three-bet jammed for 1,110,000 and Nakaten folded. The latter didn't fold the next time when he looked up ryota622 in a flip.
ryota622: A♥K♠
Nakaten: 6♣6♦
The pair held strong on the J♠7♣3♠5♣9♦ board and ryota622 became the 16th place finisher.
Nakaten kept the pressure high in a single-raised pot when jamming the 10♥7♣2♠3♣J♠ river. Yuta sigh-folded and exposed the 10♦.
