MAKITO0311 three-bet jammed the last 38,000 with the J♣J♠ and the initial raiser called holding the K♥10♥. There were some gasps when the A♠8♥2♥ flop brought the flush draw, but the 4♠ turn and 3♦ river were both blanks. MAKITO0311 triumphantly raised his hands up in the air after winning with one of tournament poker's most cursed pocket pairs.

The T-100 chips are raced off on the fly without slowing down any of the action, which continues relentless in the evening hours here in Tokyo. Within the last few minutes, two tables broke and the screens were updated to only 147 players remaining. They all hope to make it to the end of level 13 when all survivors get to bag and tag their chips.
The stacks were briefly counted before it was determined that ichi-niki - the hero of our previous hand - was out of the tournament. His A♣4♣ ran into the Q♥Q♠ of kiyu2025 and only one four was not enough on the 10♣7♥3♠8♠4♥ runout.
