Main Event (1,300,000 KRW)

Like yesterday on the feature table, Oguri runs into kings with his jacks, this time the 9♥ 8♠ A♠ 8♦ 4♣ claims all of his chips, going into Hao's stack and sending the most aggressive player of today to the rail with final table preparations being made. The official Final 8 will still have to wait for one more bust.

Cutoff Xiaqing Ji gets the ball rolling for 250,000 again and takes the blinds to the 9♦ Q♦ 8♥ pitch where his 210,000 c-bet just bloats the pot. The 2♣ turn gets checked to the 3♣ river where small blind Huang takes over the reins with a 450,000 lead and only Ji calls before throwing it in the muck when Huang tables T♦ T♥ .

First to act Kosei Oguri slides 250,000 over the line, but let's it go after Shanghao Xie jammed for 1,960,000, winning his second pot with an all-in to get some breathing room again.

Cutoff Xiaqing Ji opens yet another hand for 250,000 and both blinds tag along to the Q♥ 5♥ K♥ flop that gets checked to the 9♦ turn where Oguri finds the betting button again, making it 300,000 and both opponents call. The K♣ river is met with all checks again and Huang's A♥ 9♣ takes it down with Ji showing the 9♥ .

Cutoff Kosei Oguri raises to 250,000, small blind Xiaqing Ji ups it to 860,000, Oguri four-bets to 2,000,000, but snap folds with a smile after Ji jammed his massive stack.

Cutoff Shanghao Xie puts 250,000 in front and takes both blinds to the 5♣ 9♥ 2♣ flop that gets rejected for a free 9♦ turn. Small blind Kosei Oguri leads 300,000 and only initial raiser Xie tags along for the T♣ river that gets checked down again with Oguri's 4♦ 4♣ being enough to scoop the pot.

This takes the Japanese back to over 5M after an early setback against chip leader Xiaqing Ji.

First to act Xiaqing Ji makes it 200,000 and calls after small blind Kosei Oguri upped it to 550,000 to see the T♦ J♦ A♥ flop. Oguri's 500,000 continuation gets called to reveal the A♦ turn where he fires another 800,000 that go unanswered.

Cutoff Kosei Oguri opens 225,000 and big blind Xiaqing Ji defends to see the 9♠ T♥ T♦ flop where Oguri's 300,000 c-bet gets called before a 600,000 second barrel on the 9♦ turn is enough to take it down for him.

After an early slumber, Xiaqing Ji woke up and started running over the table becoming the first to break into the 8-digits.

Cutoff Kosei Oguri lays out 200,000 and fills up after big blind Xiaqing pumped it to 600,000 for the 9♥ 8♠ 3♣ flop to drop. Ji continues for 350,000, Oguri raises to 850,000 and calls after a 1,500,000 three bet from Ji. The J♠ turn has the chip leader put the 2nd in chips all-in, who thinks better of it and lets it go.

Kosei Oguri raises to 200,000 on the button and collects the blinds for a 2nd time in just a few hands.
