Daniel Yoshiba opened to 375,000 from cutoff and button Bruce Diamond shoved all-in for 1,350,000. Dennis Hotz in the big blind decided to follow suit and placed all his 890,000 chips in the middle of the table.

Yoshiba then said he'll do it and called putting both Diamond's and Hotz tournament life on the line.

Dennis Hotz: Q♠Q♦ All in
Bruce Diamond: A♠8♣ All in
Daniel Yoshiba: A♦Q♥

There was no sweat for Yoshiba when he caught Broadway on the 10♣K♠J♦ flop, evoking a disgusted groan from both Hotz and Diamond. The whole table was on their feet with the potential double elimination and the pay jump.

The dealer completed the board with a 2♥ turn and a 4♣ river, sending both Hotz and Diamond out of the tournament.

Zixuan Liu opened to 350,000 from cutoff and small blind Yutaro Tsugaru pushed 460,000 of his chips, leaving a 5,000-chip behind.

Joseph Block in the big blind was telling Tsugaru that he had to go all-in as his bet is not a legal raise. The floor was called and it was decided that Tsugaru had to put the last chip in. Block got out of the way. Liu called leading them to a showdown.

Yutaro Tsugaru: J♥10♥ All in
Zixuan Liu: A♦7♠

Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Yutaro Tsugaru tanked for a while as there was a pay jump looming. In the end, he raised to 190,000 from middle position while keeping one 5,000-chip behind. Bruce Diamond three-bet to 360,000 from the small blind for Zixuan Liu to call in the big blind. Tsugaru jumped into the tank again. After about two minutes, Liu called the clock on him. The floor gave Tsugaru 30 seconds to make a decision and at the last second, Tsugaru made the call.

Both Diamond and Liu opted to check through the whole 8♥7♣J♥8♣K♥ runout.

Liu tabled the Q♦10♣ for Tsugaru to reveal his 4♠4♦ for two pair. Diamond nodded while looking at his cards and tried to muck them but the dealer revealed his 10♦3♦ for Liu to claim the side pot.
