Ryuta Nakai moved all in on the button, and Cary Katz called, with the latter the player at risk.
Cary Katz: A♠9♣
Ryuta Nakai: A♥4♥
Katz had Nakai dominated, but the 2♣K♠3♦ flop provided Nakai with some extra outs.
There was no help to be found on the K♥ turn, but the 5♥ river sealed the deal, sending Katz crashing out, and Nakai through to the semifinals.
