Four ways to the 10♣9♠8♣ flop, the action checked to Taiga Okuda and he bet 2,700 to receive two callers. The big blind then check-raised to 11,000 only for Okuda to reraise to 24,500. Two folds later, his final opponent folded after having half of his stack in the middle already.

On the tail end of a J♣10♠6♠K♣4♥ board, Kouichi moved all-in and was eventually paid off by an opponent two seats over. He tabled his Q♣9♥ for the king-high straight from an early position and his opponent took a major hit with K♥Q♥ for top pair and the straight blocker. Soon after, Kouichi lost a minor pot but still has nearly two times the current average.

On a table with current chip leader Fukuda, the turn showed 5♠4♣2♠9♠ and a shorter stack got it in for around 20,000. pokermax called in the next seat while Fukuda opted to fold.
The player at risk tabled 10♣9♣ for top pair and was up against A♦J♠ for two over cards and the jack-high flush draw. No spade followed but the J♥ on the river ensured the knockout nonetheless.

The vast tournament area inside of La Belle Salle is starting to fill up with at least another two other tournaments already underway. Several players are entering and re-entering the 1c flight as well, which has increased the tally to around 262 entries and some 177 players remaining at the moment.
The late registration for this penultimate starting day is open for more than an hour still so the odds are quite high that we will perhaps reach 300 entries.
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.
