It was a classic race with a twist that got the chips into the middle when jerOOvv was involved with Q♦Q♣ against the A♥K♥ of his table neighbour. The 8♦6♣5♥ flop changed nothing while the dreadful ace came on the A♦ turn. jerOOvv had two outs, one of which he hit with the Q♠ river!
Daniel Shearer had increased his stack by knocking out Fukasawa and on his table, the next all-in unfolded albeit without a call. Recent arrival ruto raised to 2,000 in the small blind and Dakota called in the big blind. ruto continued for 2,000 on the A♠9♥3♥ flop to earn a raise to 6,000 by Dakota. He then jammed over the top and Dakota folded.
A short stack was all-in for only 2,500 and called two ways including by the table big stack Yuya, who then bet the 10♠9♠9♥ flop for 2,500 to pick up a call by the third player. Both checked the K♦ turn and Yuya's bet of 4,000 on the 6♠ river isolated successfully.
The short stack tabled the K♥10♦ but Yuya had improved to a flush with the K♠5♠.
On a heads-up turn of Q♦7♣6♠5♥, kai05170107 bet 6,500 and then faced a raise to 18,000 before he moved all-in and earned a call. His opponent tabled the Q♣6♣ for two pair but kai05170107 had that crushed holding the 9♥8♥ for the nut straight.
The river was the blank 4♣ and both stacks were counted, kai05170107 covered to reach six figures.

On the tail end of a 10♠4♦4♥8♠A♣ board, panchan check-called for 3,500 and was shown the 9♣8♣. He had that beat with the A♦7♣ to chip back up after previously losing some chips.
The very same player then ran his short stack with A♦K♣ into the A♠A♣ of b-boy. There was no upset on the J♠9♥7♥K♦5♥ runout and that brought the next seat open after the first break.
In a preflop all-in, kai05170107 found himself behind with 4♣4♠ against the 10♣10♦ of a shorter stack but somehow got there with the A♦J♠5♦2♥3♠ runout to reduce the field by one.
Four ways to the Q♣3♣2♠7♣ turn, a bet of 1,000 was called three ways and the 6♥ on the river was then checked through. The turn bettor showed K♠9♦ but Fukasawa had the best of it with the 4♦4♥.
The next hand, Fukasawa raised to 1,200 and received a single caller in the blinds. He fired three barrels on the J♣8♣2♠6♦8♦ board and the final bet of 3,000 forced out his opponent.
