Grapenthien led on fourth, Fujimoto raised all-in for 80,000 total, and Grapenthien called.
Going into the final card, Fujimoto had sixes and a low draw against the aces and inferior low draw of Grapenthien, who flipped over the 6♦ to make an eight-six low as well. Fujimoto needed to find another pair or better low, but he peeled the J♦, and his bid for a second consecutive $10,000 Championship bracelet ends in eighth place.
