Yoshihiro open-jammed from an early position and teba called all-in from the small blind for around 700,000, almost exposing his cards while the big blind was still to act. Once Chris Money kicker (amazing nickname, by the way), folded, they proceeded with the showdown.
teba: A♥K♦
Yoshihiro: 9♠9♣
The J♥8♦5♦J♦4♥ board was a tease but one too few red cards came to the rescue of teba, who bowed out in 27th place.

On the tail end of a A♣8♠2♠3♠K♥ board, Nakaten bet 200,000 out of the big blind with around 325,000 in the middle. Mashipi raised to 450,000 and Nakaten very reluctantly folded.

Three players busted in quick succession to bring the field down to the last 27 hopefuls but since then, nothing much happened.
Wakabayashi had busted prior when he jammed the Q♠J♣ into mashipi's A♣6♣ in a battle of the blinds. The 8♠6♠2♥2♦K♠ board only paired up mashipi.

Bryan Nakamura had taken off a big pot from KDB05 when he jammed the K♠9♣2♣10♥ turn to jump above three million. However, the next setback came when he then isolated a preflop all-in by Kanasuke, who was at risk for 710,000.
Kanasuke: 10♦10♥
Bryan Nakamura: A♦K♠
The Q♦6♣5♣5♥2♣ board had Kanasuke fist-pump for a second to celebrate.

In a larger pot to the 9♣8♠5♠10♠ turn, tanaso got his chips in with the A♠Q♥ for a gutshot and the ace-high flush draw in the last hand before the break. Nakaten looked him up with the A♦A♣ and the aces held on the Q♦ river to win a large pot, vaulting Nakaten into the current top five.
