Inokuchi's pocket 9s hold for a double up

Level 15: 2,000 / 4,000 ante: 4,000

Ryoya Inokuchi

With a stack of only 50,000 and refusing to play with a miniscule stack should he make it to Day 2, Japan's Ryoya Inokuchi grabbed the opportunity to shove when action was folded to him on the Button. But gets called by Li Xinjing of China.

The cards are turned over and Inokuchi shows 9♠ 9♥ while Li has A♦ 8♠ .

The board goes T♥ 3♠ Q♥ Q♣ 8♣ as Inokuchi dodged the Ace that would have sent him packing and reclaims a six-figure stack anew.

Wei sends Morikawa to below average

Level 10: 600 / 1,200 ante: 1,200

Wei Amos Yi Zhu

Barely a few hands after vanquishing Filipino Ruben Clamares, Japan's Yuta Morikawa is once again in the news but this time as a donor to Singapore's Wei Amos Yi Zhu.

It was short-stacked fellow Singaporean Giam Jian Hui who raised from the HJ to 2,500 and got a call from Ryoya Inokuchi of Japan and Wei but Morikawa squeezed from the BB for 12,500.

Giam and Inokuchi folded but Wei called.

The flop is 3♥ 5♠ 8♦ and the action went check-check.

The turn produces the K♠ as Morikawa checked a second time. This time, Wei takes over the betting lead for 10,000. Morikawa still calls.

The river shows the J♠ . Again Morikawa checks and is met with a shove from Wei. Morikawa eventually throws his hand into the muck.

Wei breaks into six figures in holdings with the triumph.

Magnotti pilfers over 40K from Inokuchi

Level 9: 600 / 1,200 ante: 1,200

Joseph Magnotti

Raising from the early position, Joseph Magnotti of the United States makes it 2,500 to go but gets 3-bet by Japan's Ryoya Inokuchi to 7,500. In the SB, Wei Amos Yi Zhu flats as does Magnotti to make it three ways to the flop.

The first three community cards show a monochrome A♥ 2♥ 5♥ as Wei and Magnotti check. Inokuchi leads out for 6,500. Wei folds but Magnotti makes the call.

The turn is the 2♦. Magnotti checks again and this time Inokuchi blasts 28,000 into the middle. To his surprise, Magnotti still calls.

The river is the 5♠ and Magnotti over bets the pot and goes all in. Inokuchi takes a while to ponder his decision but ultimately chooses to fold, losing more than 40,000 in the process.

Tai vanquished by Inokuchi's one-card straight

Level 9: 600 / 1,200 ante: 1,200

Tai Weiliang

Down to only 12,500 in chips, Singapore's Tai Weiliang swung for the fences on a 3-bet shove against initial raiser Ryoya Inokuchi of Japan.

When the cards were turned over, Tai held A♥ 9♣ against the 7♥ 7♠ of Inokuchi.

The run out was T♠ 8♦ J♥ 6♥ 9♠ as the pair that would have given Tai the lead if it had come on an earlier street became the eliminator for Inokuchi as he achieved a one-card straight.

Tai went straight to the cage after his momentary bust out.
