Sumay Mishra raised to 10,000 from middle position, which was called by hijack Kasuga Dai and small blind Fendy Kosasih. Big blind Rudy Edenata then squeezed to 40,000 and only Dai made the call.
The dealer fanned the 2♦ 2♣ A♠flop and Edenata peeked at his cards before checking. Dai fired 22,000 in before instantly facing a check-shove from Edenata and his covering stack, sending the Japanese player into the tank.
After a timebank and some strained looks, he eventually put in the call.
Kasuga Dai: A♦ J♣
Rudy Edenata: A♣ 7♥
Dai had made the correct call, and the remaining 8♦ 8♠runout was safe, giving him a huge boost to his stack in the early stages of the day.

John Clyde TanJohn Tan started the day as second in chips but clearly has his sights set on the top spot. He's chipped up by around 150,000 in the opening stages of the day.
Manuel Geronimo opened with a 10,000 raise from under the gun before folding to Tan's 28,000 three-bet.
The next hand saw cutoff Tan raise to 12,000 and Edwards Lawford defend his big blind. Lawford check-folded on the 6♦ 3♦ 9♣ flop when Tan fired 9,000.
Hijack Feras Elnatsha then open-jammed for 63,000 and collected the blinds.
Tan then raised to 10,000 once more, this time from the hijack, and big blind Kohei Takami made the call.
Takami check-called Tan's 10,000 continuation-bet on the 3♣ A♦ 5♥ flop. The action repeated on the 2♣ turn, this time for 25,000.
The A♠completed the board and Takami led for 80,000. The Japanese player had barely put the chips into the middle before Tan made the call, flicking over A♣ 4♣ for a turned straight, to the shock of the table. Takami showed K♦ J♥.
