Cary Katz lost a bunch to Ryutaro Suzuki when the latter paired his ten on sixth street with Katz folding a queen-high board. Another player from Japan was involved in the last hands of the night with Ko Goto taking on Tyler Phillips.
Tyler Phillips: 6♦3♦J♠ / 7♦4♥5♥A♣
Ko Goto: XxXx / 5♣K♠A♥6♠ / Xx
Phillips completed and called a raise by Goto, who then check-called all the way including on seventh street. Before any cards were shown at the very end, Philip Sternheimer instantly said "straight" and that's what Phillips indeed had.
"He was so eager to show his cards," Sternheimer explained as Phillips also had initially bet out of turn on the final card.
