mrtroy had previously won another larger pot and then tangled with chip leader Daniel Shearer when he gave up on an ace-high river with two diamonds, as his K♦9♦ had missed. Shearer won the pot with the A♣J♠ to pull further ahead.
A short stack then jammed from the hijack for 3,400 and Fukasawa on the button called. mrtroy in the big blind went all-in over the top and the button eventually committed his last 16,000 for 32 big blinds.
Hijack: A♣10♠
Fukasawa: J♥10♣
mctroy: K♠K♣
The Q♣7♥2♠9♥9♦ board kept the pocket pair ahead to knockout two opponents.
