Manabu Sato Eliminated in 12th Place (902,000 THB)
Level 36
: Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
Manabu Sato had forfeited his blinds at the end of the previous level and the blinds went up. He was under the gun with exactly one big blind and folded, then finding himself forced all-in preflop. All players folded except for Hong Cai, who put in the additional 400,000 chips with a smirk on the face in the small blind.
Manabu Sato: 9♣5♠ 
Hong Cai: K♦3♣
Sato had two live cards and a gutshot until the A♠Q♥7♦8♥ turn but the J♣ river gave Cai the win by high card, sending Sato out in 12th place for 902,000 THB in travel funds.
