An Unusual Heads-Up

Level 4 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

With Fujimoto's elimination, just two players remain: Sam Greenwood and Jan Schwippert. With nearly equal stacks, both players are fine as is and are looking for a chop to end the tournament.

However, late registration is officially open up until the end of level 7, which means anyone can still enter if they do so desire unless it's agreed to lock the tournament down. The clock has been paused as the staff is talking about the situation that has come up.

Koji Fujimoto Eliminated

Level 4 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Shortly after Alex Foxen's bustout, Koji Fujimoto hit the rail as well. Sam Greenwood was the executioner in the hand. The hand began with Greenwood opening to 2,000 on the button and Fujimoto defending.

The flop was {6-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{2-Hearts} and Fujimoto check-raised Greenwood's 1,000 bet to 2,400, which Greenwood called in position. Fujimoto flicked in 5,000 on the {8-Spades} turn and Greenwood called again.

On the {4-Clubs} river, Fujimoto shoved for 6,000, Greenwood instantly called and showed {9-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for a straight. Fujimoto nodded, accepting defeat, and showed {10-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} before bowing out.

Greenwood Compelled to Check

Level 4 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Sam Greenwood and Jan Schwippert built a big pot in the blinds and Greenwood bet 8,000 into about 5,000 from the small blind on a board of {6-Spades}{9-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}. Schwippert called and the river was a {7-Clubs}. Greenwood tanked awhile and then was informed he had automatically checked by virtue of running out of time. He had been loading up another bet.

"I didn't hear you," Greenwood told the dealer, referencing the warning players get before the timer's up.

The Canadian reluctantly patted the table and Schwippert checked back. Greenwood turned over {j-Spades}{10-Spades} and Schwippert showed {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}.

Jan Schwippert opened for a raise to an unknown amount with three T1,000 chips and Alex Foxen three-bet to 7,100 in the small blind. Schwippert shoved and Foxen snap-called for roughly 38,000.

Schwippert: {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
Foxen: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}

The board ran out {6-Hearts}{6-Spades}{a-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{9-Spades}, leaving Foxen exiting his seat on the turn.

"Good luck," he said.

Fujimoto Doubles Through Foxen

Level 4 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Alex Foxen flicked three T-5,000 chips in from the small blind, enough to cover Koji Fujimoto. The Japanese looked at his cards, took around ten seconds, then stacked up his chips and casually slid them forward for a call.

Alex Foxen: {A-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}
Koji Fujimoto: {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}

Foxen simply nodded when he saw Fujimoto's hand. The board ran out {K-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{9-Diamonds} and the Japanese's kings remained best.
