Day 2
Kirishima Akinobu dominated
Utg short stacked Kirishima Akinobu open shoved his 40,000 in with K♠ 5♥ and was called by big blind Kenzo Mendoza with a better K♦ J♠ . The board ran 8♥ 2♠ 3♠ A♣ 6♥ and failed to pair either player. Mendoza takes the pot with king-jack high and sends Kirishima out within the first level of the day.
