Li Doubles Through Kitazato

Level 16: 10,000 / 25,000 ante: 25,000

Huanghua Li raised to 50,000 from the hijack and Yohei Kitazato moved all in on the button. It was folded back around to Li, who called to put himself at risk for just under 600,000.

Huanghua Li: T♣ T♠

Yohei Kitazato: 7♣ 7♠

Li held the higher pair for a commanding lead, and the 9♦ 4♠ Q♦ 5♦ J♥ runout changed nothing to award him the double up and put a dent in Kitazato's lead.

Aggarwal's Kings Crack Ang's Aces

Level 15: 10,000 / 20,000 ante: 20,000

Shortly after Eugene Zhou managed to double up through Snehil Aggarwal, Yang Yi Ang got all in preflop for about 400,000 from the small blind against Aggarwal, who had Ang covered on the button.

Yang Yi Ang: A♣ A♠

Snehil Aggarwal: K♠ K♥

Ang found the perfect cooler to score a double up, but the K♦ 4♠ 6♣ 5♦ 6♥ runout improved Aggarwal to a set of kings, eliminating Ang on a brutal bad beat.

Aggarwal Sends Tumboli Out

Level 15: 10,000 / 20,000 ante: 20,000

Zarvan Tumboli was all in preflop for his last 500,000 from the big blind against Snehil Aggarwal, who had Tumboli covered from under the gun.

Zarvan Tumboli: K♠ Q♠

Snehil Aggarwal: 7♣ 7♠

It was a race for Tumboli's tournament life, which was in dire straits after the 7♥ A♣ K♥ flop improved Aggarwal to a set.

The A♥ turn gave Tumboli outs to a higher full house, but the 6♦ river changed nothing and Aggarwal was sent the rest of Tumboli's chips.

Singam Doubles Through Aggarwal; Chan Out

Level 15: 10,000 / 20,000 ante: 20,000

Heads-up on a completed board of 6♦ K♥ 8♦ J♦ 3♣ with several hundred thousand already in the middle, Joel Singam checked from the big blind and Snehil Aggarwal moved all in from the cutoff, which was enough to put Singam all in for his last 565,000.

Singam called and Aggarwal showed K♦ 6♠ for kings-up. It was no good, however, as Singam turned over 9♦ 3♦ for a flush to be awarded the double up.

At the other table, Kian Bing Chan was eliminated by Tuck Wai Foo, who got some chips back after losing the massive hand against Yohei Kitazato.

Kitazato's Cowboys Hold Against Foo in Pot of the Tournament

Level 15: 10,000 / 20,000 ante: 20,000

Huanghua Li opened to 40,000 from the cutoff and was three-bet to 120,000 by Tuck Wai Foo on the button. Yohei Kitazato then four-bet cold to 370,000, which got a fold from Li, but a shove from Foo for enough to put Kitazato all in for 1,550,000 total.

Kitazato went deep into the tank, checking his hole cards several times before sticking in a call to put himself at risk in the largest pot of the tournament so far.

Yohei Kitazato: K♥ K♦

Tuck Wai Foo: A♦ K♣

Kitazato was relieved not to see aces, and let out a big sigh after the 6♣ 5♦ 4♣ 8♣ 8♥ runout kept his Cowboys ahead for the massive double up.

"Scary!" Kitazato said. "I almost folded."

More For Foo

Level 15: 10,000 / 20,000 ante: 20,000

Tuck Wai Foo opened to 40,000 from the hijack and was called by Steven on the button, Rafael Sitepu Sandhy in the small blind, and Ichiyo Niwa in the big blind for a four-way pot.

Action checked through on the 2♦ Q♦ 2♥ flop and then it was checked to Foo, who bet 40,000 on the 9♣ turn. Sandhy called, but both Steven and Niwa folded.

Sandhy checked a final time on the 7♦ river and Foo sized up for a bet of 120,000. Sandhy let his hand go and Foo added to his stack.

At the other table, Juns Leong was eliminated.

Foo Ends Warhurst's Run With Quads

Level 14: 10,000 / 15,000 ante: 15,000

Julian Warhurst opened from under the gun and was three-bet by Tuck Wai Foo on the button. It was folded back to Warhurst, who moved all in for over 500,000. Foo quickly called and a showdown was held.

Julian Warhurst: A♦ Q♠

Tuck Wai Foo: K♦ K♣

Warhurst was in trouble against Foo's kings, and the K♥ J♣ J♥ flop saw Warhurst get up from his seat, seemingly resigned to his fate.

The K♠ turn further improved Foo to quad kings and the 9♥ river made Warhurst's elimination official.

Meanwhile, a short-stacked Lihao Chen was also eliminated.

Tumboli Doubles Through Haverkamp

Level 14: 10,000 / 15,000 ante: 15,000

Ronald Haverkamp opened on the button and, just behind him, Zurvan Tumboli moved all in for around 250,000 in the small blind. It was folded back to Haverkamp, who called to put Tumboli at risk.

Zurvan Tumboli: K♥ J♥

Ronald Haverkamp: A♠ T♦

Haverkamp held a slight lead with his ace, but the K♥ 5♥ 4♣ flop pulled Tumboli into the lead with a pair of kings.

The T♠ turn gave Haverkamp additional outs after pairing his ten, but the 2♣ river bricked out - awarding the double up to Tumboli.

Haverkamp was left short as a result of the hand and was eliminated shortly thereafter.

Yohei Kitazato opened to 30,000 on the button and was called by Julian Warhurst in the small blind. Eng Chong Tan then shoved for around 250,000 from the big blind, which got a quick fold from Kitazato and a tank fold from Warhurst to take down the pot.

At the other table, Wai Hong Choi was the first player eliminated early on Day 2.

Yohei Kitazato Leads Stacked Field Into Super High Roller Final

Twenty players remain in Event #51: Super High Roller, but only one will leave Genting Highlands as the latest Poker Dream champion with the coveted Gold Dragon Trophy and the MYR 303,000 (~USD 75,750) first-place prize.

Japan's Yohei Kitazato bagged the overnight chip lead with 1,235,000 after overtaking India's Snehil Aggarwal (1,180,000) during the closing stages of the night, while Malaysia's own Tuck Wai Foo rounds out the top three with 1,150,000 - continuing his impressive series just days removed from capturing the High Roller title.

Although Kitazato will begin the finale as the man to beat, a field packed with proven winners and high-stakes regulars stands between him and another Poker Dream title. He will have to contend with fellow top stacks Yang Yi Ang (1,065,000) and Rafael Sitepu Sandhy (870,000), as well as Poker Dream regular Steven (805,000), previous Super High Roller champion Julian Warhurst (760,000), and current Dream Player of the Year leader Eugene Zhou (555,000). With plenty of dangerous contenders still in the mix, the race for the title is far from over.

The money bubble won't take long to arrive, with only ten eliminations to go before players can claim a share of the MYR 1,001,681 (~USD 250,420) prize pool. A min-cash is worth MYR 39,000 (~USD 9,750), while the eventual champion will collect MYR 303,000 (~USD 75,750) as mentioned earlier.
