Main Event

Longhao Shen raised to 25,000 with the A♦ T♦ in the cutoff and Tetsuya Fujiwara called with the Q♠ J♠ in the big blind. Fujiwara check-called for 15,000 with middle pair on the K♦ J♣ 8♦ flop and checked the 7♣ turn. He then faced the shove by Shen and folded.

Takeshi Odawara was eliminated by Dongwook Lee while his fellow countryman Tetsuya Fujiwara tripled his short stack. His A♦ A♣ was up against the K♣ 9♠ of Jong Hoon Lee and needed an ace on the K♦ 8♣ 2♠ A♥ K♠ runout.

In a battle of the blinds, Junghwan Kim bet the 8♠ 7♣ 5♦ K♣ turn for 24,000 and the 3♣ river for another 38,000. Tsukasa Endo called both times and won the pot with 7♠ 6♣ , as Kim only had A♣ 6♥ for the missed straight draw and nut flush blocker.

Tetsuya Fujiwara raised to 1,800 from under the gun and Kiwook Kang called in the cutoff. The Q♣ T♦ 8♠ flop and 3♣ turn were checked. Fujiwara bet the K♥ river for 2,600 and Kang called, then didn't need to show any cards to win the pot as Fujiwara mucked to forfeit his ambitions.

One player was already all-in after the J♣ J♥ 5♥ flop to receive two calls and the 3♦ turn then brought the shove by Tetsuya Fujiwara, which Kiwook Kang called with the covering stack.

The at-risk player showed Q♥ 7♥ for a flush draw, up against Fujiwara with Q♣ J♦ and Kang who held the J♠ T♥ for the same trips but weaker kicker. The river was the 6♦ and Fujiwara won the main and side pot.

The field has expanded to more than 30 entries and not just one but two new tables opened in quick succession. Tetsuya Fujiwara entered followed shortly thereafter by Won Beom Seo and Yohan Trens, the latter two sitting next to each other over on table seven.

Joo Hee Oh and Yuri Murakami had re-entered, the same also applied for Gwangsub Lee. The latter got a short stack in with A♥ 5♥ against the A♣ T♥ of Tetsuya Fujiwara and was drawing dead on the turn of a J♠ T♠ T♦ 8♥ 8♣ runout.

Out of a field of 57 entries, some 40 entries remain. Both Konosuke Yoshimura and Tetsuya Fujiwara are back in action over on table six and the latter chipped up in a heads-up pot just now.

With the turn showing Q♣ 8♥ 2♠ 2♣ , it checked to Fujiwara and he bet 5,700 into 8,100. His opponent reluctantly folded and exposed A♦ K♠ to get shown the J♠ by Fujiwara.

Out of a field of 46 entries thus far, only 35 players remain and the man leading the way is none other than Alan "King Lun" Lau. He has nearly quadrupled the stack already while Yitaek Choi, Tetsuya Fujiwara and Konosuke Yoshimura have all departed.

In multi-way action to the 7♦ 5♠ 5♣ flop, Sungmin Ha in the small blind and Tetsuya Fujiwara in the big blind came along when Ji Eun Park bet 1,900. The trio checked the 9♦ turn and Fujiwara was the one to bet the 6♥ river for 5,400.

Park went long in the tank before she eventually called, but mucked after being shown 8♣ 7♣ for a straight.

With four ways and 1,200 invested on a A♣ T♠ 2♠ flop, the 9♥ turn was checked to Ji Eun Park. She bet 2,200 this time, picking up calls from Seungmin Lee and Sungmin Ha while Tetsuya Fujiwara folded.

Ha then fired a bet of 14,000 on the 5♦ river and Park tank-folded, as did Lee.
