Main Event - Flight C
Murakami crippled by Rosete's hidden set

Japan's Akimichi Motomura starts the action by raising to 500 from UTG and gets four callers in Australia's Landry Craig in the +2 position, fellow Japanese player Junichi Murakami in the CO, and a pair of Filipinos in Maxwell Rosete (D) and Richard Tolentino (BB).
The flop comes 9♦ J♥ 4♦ as Motomura and Craig check it to Murakai who bets 2,000. Right beside him, Rosete raises it to 7,000 as Tolentino, Motomura and Craig get out of the way. Murakami calls.
The turn is the 9♠ . Murakami checks and Rosete unleashes 8,000. Murakami quickly goes all-in for 20,200 and gets snap called by the Filipino for his remaining 17,500.
Murakami shows Q♦ J♠ for top pair on the flop while Rosete flips over 4♠ 4♣ for a full house on the turn.
Needing a nine or a jack on the river to counterfeit his opponent's boat, the A♠ arrives and sends Murakami's stack to the ICU.
