A flop ran out A♣ 9♥ 8♠ with around 26,000 chips in the pot, and Hong Yu Chen checked from early position. Adom Issahakian also tapped the table from middle position. Rintaro Kagawa then led out for 10,000 on the button, only to be jammed on for 28,000 by Chen. Only Kagawa came along for the ride.

Rintaro Kagawa: A♦ K♠

Hong Yu Chen: A♥ 8♥

Chen paired his ace-eight with the board and held the lead while Kagawa was in need of help.

Fortunately for Chen, the runout came clean 2♦ J♥ , securing him the sizable pot during the second-to-last level today.

Big blind Kawai Tsui and button Rintaro Kagawa were fighting for pot of over 10,000 with a board that showed 6♣ J♠ 5♦ 8♠ .

Tsui tapped his option over to Kagawa who took a moment before counting off a 4,500 bet. Tsui stared at the board for a while before giving up his hand.
