Level 24
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Tyler Sok limped in from the cutoff, followed by Yen Chen on the button. Tom Thomas completed in the small blind, and Aaron Valencia checked his option in the big blind to take the four-way flop.
The dealer tabled 2♣7♣6♦, and all four players checked it through to the 3♠ turn.
Thomas took the lead with a bet of 200,000. Valencia quickly folded, and Sok, after a brief look at his cards, moved all in for about 520,000. Chen got out of the way, and the pressure was back on Thomas. He took a moment to count his stack, clearly uncomfortable, but eventually made the call.
Sok turned over 3♥3♦ for a set of threes, while Thomas revealed 7♠5♥ for top pair and a gutshot straight draw. He needed a four and found it when the 4♥ landed on the river, completing his straight and eliminating Sok.

Chihhang Wang open-shoved for 525,000 from middle position and got a call from button player Tetsuma Ishizu. Both players headed to showdown and tabled their hands, with Ishizu at risk.
Tetsuma Ishizu: K♠K♦
Chihhang Wang: K♣Q♥
Ishizu liked his odds when he saw Wang's hand. Almost assured with a double up, the flop came 10♣3♥4♠. Wang was shaking his head as he watched the deal. The turn J♥ and somewhat new hope came into Wang who quietly called an ace to drop. To Wang's surprise, the A♣ did come leaving Ishizu shocked.
Ishizu stood up and picked up his bags but stayed longer still in disbelief as the dealer pushed the pot to Wang and collected the board for the next hand.

Frederick Mends raised to 120,000 in the hijack seat. Shunsuke Mitsugi then moved all in from the button. Mends instantly made the call when action was back on him.
Shunsuke Mitsugi: A♥J♥
Frederick Mends: 8♣8♦
The flop saw fireworks with Q♣9♥8♥ hitting the board, but unfortunately for Mitsugi, the 3♦ turn and 5♣ river could not help him stave off elimination.

Marc Goldman opened to 80,000 under the gun and got called by Sterling Harris to his immediate left. Action folded around to the big blind Naoto Udagawa, who shoved all-in for around 300,000.
Goldman went into the tank calculating how many big blinds he would have left if he called. He ultimately folded his hand. Harris, on the other hand, made the call.
Naoto Udagawa: A♦7♦
Sterling Harris: K♥K♣
All Udagawa needed was an ace to stay alive, but something better came with the flop which dropped 3♦10♦4♣. Harris needed to evade a flush from happening to maintain his lead. But the 5♦ dropped, completing Udagawa's flush and pushing him ahead. The board was completed with a Q♥.
Udagawa scooped the pot for a double to continue his tournament run.
