One of the very common first names in Japan is Sho and this particular player uses it as an game ID alias. They were at risk on a Q♣9♣3♥ flop with Q♦J♥ versus Q♠8♦ and J♣10♠. The 7♥ turn and 2♦ river were both blanks and Sho tripled up in the main pot.

Yoshida was the first chip leader by some margin after getting a shove through in the second hand of the day but he just bowed out against the new chip leader with the apt alias of Chris Money kicker. In a battle of ace-rags, Yoshida was trailing with A♦7♠ against A♥9♥ and the Q♣J♣4♥6♥8♥ runout provided no help.

Junnosuke Taguchi had previously been involved in a three-way all-in where he missed an open-ended straight draw. He made up for the losses when knocking out a shorter stack as they got it in after the 6♣5♠2♠A♦ turn. Taguchi's A♠6♥ were ahead of K♠K♥ and that didn't change on the 8♦ river.

Armin Gooya has been living in Japan since 2016 and "wishes that poker was more of a thing here", though, the cash game player has jumped into Day 1c of this event earlier on. Just now, Gooya faced a min-raise to 1,600 and three-bet to 3,000 two seats over for four opponents to call. On the 9♠8♠2♥ flop, the initial raiser led for 2,500 and Gooya's raise to 10,000 was only called by them.
Both the A♦ turn and 3♥ river were checked for the player under the gun to reveal 7♥6♥ for the missed straight draw, which Gooya had beat holding K♣K♠.

On the river of a Q♥9♣2♥A♣6♠ board, the small blind pushed all-in for 12,000. YAGI_label in the big blind tank-called for 9,300 and was good with Q♣8♦, as his opponent only had K♥7♠ for a bluff.
YAGI_label then raised to 1,600 into the big blind of Ryuichiro, who also called a bet of 1,000 on the A♣K♦2♥ flop and 2,000 on the K♣ turn. The J♣ river was checked and YAGI_label tabled 10♠2♠, Ryuichiro had that beat with the A♣3♠.
One hand later, Ryuichiro doubled the severe short stack of the previous all-in showdown to lose most of that profit.
