Shigeho Yoshioka opened to 65,000 and Fredrik Kaarem three-bet to 185,000 on his left. The action folded back to Yoshioka who called to see a flop of {q-Clubs}{7-Spades}{2-Spades}. Yoshioka check-called a bet of 190,000 and the {9-Diamonds} landed on the turn.

Both players checked to see the {7-Hearts} on the river. Yoshioka led out for 325,000 and Kaarem quickly made the call. Yoshioka tabled {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs} but Kaarem held {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} for a better pair to take the pot.

Following that, Bart Lybaert raised to 75,000 from early position and was called by Yoshioka and Alexander Lynskey in the small blind. The flop fell {6-Clubs}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs} and Lynskey checked to Lybaert who continued for 130,000. Yoshioka called and Lynskey check-raised to 390,000. Lybaert quickly folded but Yoshioka called.

The turn brought the {3-Clubs} and both players checked to the {q-Hearts} on the river. Lynskey shoved all in, putting Yoshioka to the test for his last 550,000. He thought for a minute and then gave up, conceding another pot to Lynskey.
