Kaoru Kishimoto Eliminated in 7th Place ($183,000)
Level 29
: Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
Daiki Shingae raised to 1,600,000 with the A♣K♥ and Kaoru Kishimoto called out of the big blind with what was dubbed as the QQPK mystery hand leading up to the Q♦J♦5♣ flop. Kishimoto checked and Shingae bet 2,100,000 for his fellow countryman to then shove for 10,600,000 total.
"How much?" Shingae asked upon and then reluctantly called. Kishimoto flipped over the K♦9♥ for an inferior straight draw and needed to hit a nine to survvie.
The turn was the Q♥ and the A♥ river sealed the fate of Kishimoto in seventh place for a payday of $183,000.
