Takami Kunishima, getting short-stacked after the break, got it all in on the turn, with the board showing 2♦K♠7♠A♦.
Takami Kunishima: A♠8♥8♣3♣2♥
Big Blind: K♥Q♣J♥7♦5♠
Kunishima, sporting two pair, aces and deuces, and an eight low, led the big blind, with two pair kings and sevens, and a weaker low draw. The 2♠ on the river gave Kunishima deuces full to scoop and left the big blind very short himself.

Players are now on their third break of the day. The tournament will resume in 20 minutes and at that point, late registration will end.
Action was recapped by the table after a double elimination.
Brandon Bergin had both Dan Zack and another player all in preflop for a pot worth 91,000
Brandon Bergin: AxKx10x7x2x
Opponent: AxJxXxXxXx
Dan Zack: XxJx9xXxXx
The board ran out Qx10x8xKx10x, which saw Zack flop a straight, the other player turn a better straight, and Bergin river tens full to eliminate both players.
In a strange twist of fate, Dan Zack reentered and sat down at the same table for the third time.
George Walter bet 7,000 from early position on a A♣6♦9♦ flop and Stephen Hornacek came along.
When the Q♣ came on the turn, Walter asked for a pot calculation, and then deliberately placed all 37,200 of his remaining soldiers in regimented lines in front of him. Hornacek took a moment to consider, gave his chips a kiss for luck, and made the call.
George Walter: A♠Q♠4♦4♠3♥
Stephen Hornacek: K♠8♠7♠5♠3♠
Walter led with two pair and a better low draw and the 9♥ river secured him the double.
On a flop of J♣5♦A♥, Alex Foxen bet from the cutoff and was called by Michael Flanagan in the big blind.
An A♣ on the turn was checked by both players. Flanagan bet 12,000 when the river came a 4♦.
Foxen called and tabled A♦8♠8♥7♣2♠ which was good for the low. Flanagan showed A♠K♠J♥7♠4♠ and took the high with aces full.
Level: 9
Blinds: 600/1,200
