Yuya Arito Eliminated in 2nd Place ($595,078)
Level 38
: Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante
Rainer Kempe limped in from the button and Yuya Arito checked his option in the big blind.
The flop came 4♠9♦5♥ and Arito checked it over to Kempe, who fired 1,200,000. Arito then shoved 10,600,000, and after confirming the count, Kempe called.
Yuya Arito: 8♦4♥ 
Rainer Kempe: J♠5♣
Arito made bottom pair, but needed to improve on the turn or river as Kempe had flopped second pair. The 7♦ on the turn did add a gutshot for Arito, but the 2♠ river was a brick, meaning he had to settle for second.
