Panchan was all-in preflop for half the stack he previously held and saw his 6♥6♠ crushed by the A♦A♠ of Furukawa. The A♥8♠2♥ flop pretty much sealed his elimination which was made official on the Q♦ turn, the 6♦ river only gave Panchan the inferior set.

On a flop of K♦J♦2♦, Amano quickly looked up the all-in of AO921 who tabled the A♥K♥ for the top pair and top kicker. That was however heavily dominated by 7♦6♦ and found no runner-runner escape on the 5♥ turn and 2♥ river.

The first-ever cooperation between two thriving live poker tours from opposite ends of the world was a resounding success, as the 2025 RGPS Mission RunGood Japan attracted a massive field of 1,585 entries for the modest ¥25,000 buy-in (~$175). If there was ever any player to embody the spirit and atmosphere of the RunGood Poker Series as well as the hosting Japan Open Poker Tour (JOPT), none other than Jun Obara would certainly be near the top of the list of candidates.
Known to everyone on home turf as "misawa-san", the Japanese poker enthusiast with more than $2 million in live poker cashes is always a source of joy with a big smile on his face no matter where and how the cards fall. His first recorded live poker cash came in 2017, and he has had several victories under his belt, yet you could still see the incredibly happy kid in a candy shop when he defeated mashipi in heads-up play.
Both players earned the largest portion of the $165,394.37 in fixed prizes according to the local regulations in Japan, and Obara became the first winner of a RunGood ring outside of the United States.
Officially dubbed as Event #22 NLH Colossus by Mission RunGood it was one of the largest live events in JOPT history, fitting to the setting of the 2025 JOPT Grand Final at the stunning La Belle Salle in Shinjuku.
