After just flipping with each other, Matas Cimbolas and Jun Obara got into another preflop confrontation which ended with them both committing their stacks to the pot.
Jun Obara: A♠K♣ 
Matas Cimbolas: Q♣Q♠
Obara was the player at risk with his stack of 125,000 and took the lead on the 3♣K♠2♠ flop after he paired his king. Cimbolas would need to find a two-outer, just as Obara did a while ago, if he wanted to eliminate the Japanese player. However, lightning didn't strike twice as the 3♦ turn and 8♣ river kept the Big Slick of Obara in the lead.
