Ryuta Nakai Eliminated in 5th Place ($1,263,000)
Level 27
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Ryuta Nakai shoved for 4,725,000 from the small blind and was called by Nick Schulman in the big blind to be put at risk.
Ryuta Nakai: K♥3♣
Nick Schulman: A♣6♦
Nakai's cards were live, but the 5♠A♥9♥ flop paired Schulman's ace and left Nakai drawing to runner-runner.
It wasn't meant to be, as the 9♠ turn left Nakai drawing dead.
The Q♣ river made Nakai's elimination official in fifth place and he fist-pumped his tablemates before exiting the tournament area.
