Mini Championship ($1,100)

With a pot of 29,500 centered around board 2♥ 2♣ 9♣ 4♠ , Takayuki Koga led out a 17,000 bet on the big blind and was called by Rui Carvalho behind. Koga unfazed, went for a final 8,000 on river 5♣ , more than enough to get Carvalho to lay down his hand.

Phuritat Phaosathianphan defended his button open and called a 2,500 three bet from Takayuki Koga on the small blind.

On board J♠ T♦ 5♥ 6♦ 5♣ , Koga triple barreled - 4,500, 10,500, and a final all-in, with Phaosathianphan calling all the way, risking his last 19,400 on the river. Koga revealed A♠ A♣ and delivered the first bust as Phaosathianphan tabled 9♥ 9♣ .
