Naoki YamashitaHeads-up to the flop of 5♣ T♥ 4♠with 125,000 in the pot, Alen Bakovic checked from the small blind to Naoki Yamashita in late position, who bet 25,000.
Bakovic tanked for a while and then put in a check-raise all in to 160,000. Yamashita then briefly went into the tank before tossing in the call.
Alen Bakovic: J♠T♣
Naoki Yamashita: K♣ K♦
"What are you thinking about?" asked Bakovic upon seeing Yamashita's cards as he stood up to leave the table, with the dealer peeling off the 7♦ turn and 4♦ river, which gave him no help at all.

Nobutaka TsukiashiBrett Hoy in the small blind raised to 20,000, and Nobutaka Tsukiashi in the big blind went into the tank, needing a time card to consider his options. He decided to shove all in for 180,000, and Hoy, covered, called, putting his tournament life at risk.
Brett Hoy: 7♦ 6♥
Nobutaka Tsukiashi: 9♣ 8♦
Tsukiashi was pushed further into the lead when the flop dropped 8♠3♥ 4♣. Hoy still had a chance to improve with a straight draw, but the runout came Q♣ T♠, sending him to hit the showers.

Haruna MatsumotoAction folded to Kai Lai in late position, who open-jammed all in for 66,000, and it came around to Haruna Matsumoto, who checked the count and made the call to put Lai at risk.
Kai Lai: A♥ 6â™
Haruna Matsumoto: 9♣ 8♣
The door card Lai wanted to see did not appear on the 9â™ Qâ™ Tâ™ flop, but it did give him some additional flush outs as well as his ace.
The 9♥ turn made matters a bit tougher for Lai, taking away his pair outs, and when the river bricked out with the 4♣, Lai was sent to the cage.

Igor Kan: A♣ J♦
Reo Yamamoto: Kâ™ 9â™
Kan, in the lead, looked satisfied when the hands were tabled, but the flop came 7♦ K♣ 2♠, pushing Yamamoto ahead. Kan still had outs, but the turn was a brick with the 2♥. The K♥ river gave Yamamoto a boat, drowning Kan's hopes of continuing further.

Jenjaroenwong Teerapong open-shoved for 8,000, and Kosugi Ryusuke responded with his own all-in, pushing the remaining players out of the pot and taking both of them to showdown.
Jenjaroenwong Teerapong: A♣ 7♣
Kosugi Ryusuke: Aâ™ Kâ™
Ryusuke had Teerapong dominated and stayed in the lead on the 5♥ K♦ 4♦ flop. Teerapong didn't see any chance of improving and headed to the payout counter after the dealer completed the board with the 5♦ 9♦.

Wang Lung Wong open-jammed all in from under the gun for about 52,000, and action came to Ngoc Trung Cao in middle position, who three-bet all in for about 120,000.
It then came around to short-stacked Quan Nguyen in the big blind, who called all in for his remaining 32,000, and cards were revealed.
Quan Nguyen: Tâ™ 9â™
Wang Lung Wong: T♥ 6â™
Ngoc Trung Cao: K♣ Q♣
The flop of K♠J♠Q♥ gave everyone something, but when the Q♠peeled off on the turn, it gave Nguyen a straight flush, even though it made Cao a full house. The river brought the J♦ and made Nguyen quads, which was still no good against Nguyen's straight flush. Nguyen was pushed the main pot for a triple-up, while Cao took the side pot, sending Wong to the rail.
