Naohiro Matsuda Eliminated in 17th Place ($60,400)
Takashi Yagura made it 1,000,000 to go first to act and Dajie Zhuo called on the button. Table short stack Naohiro Matsuda jammed for 1,300,000 in the big blind and both larger stacks called. The two active players checked the Q♣7♥2♥ flop to the 2♦ turn on which Yagura bet 1,000,000 and Zhuo called.
Following the 5♠ river, Yagura checked before he subsequently called a bet of 4,000,000 by Zhuo. All cards were shown with one elimination to go to end the night earlier than scheduled.
Matsuda showed the A♠10♣ and Yagura had that beat with A♥A♦. However, Zhuo was the one to celebrate once again as his 7♣7♦ had flopped a set and turned a full house to score the final elimination of the night. Matsuda bowed out in 17th place for $60,400 and the remaining 16 players are bagging up for the night.
