Phongthep Thiptinnakon: A♣8♦/A♦7♠3♣J♦/J♥
Ryutaro Suzuki: XxXx/Q♥ - folded on third street
Ryutaro Suzuki completed and was raised by Hayg Badem. Phongthep Thiptinnakon then made it three bets to go, which got a lengthy tank from Suzuki before he decided to fold. Badem four-bet all in and Thiptinnakon called to put Badem at risk.
Badem would need some help against Thiptinnakon's split aces, but his board failed to improve him while Thiptinnakon needlessly improved to aces-up for the elimination.
