Kayhan Mokri opened to 125,000 from the button, and was faced with a three-bet to 480,000 by Masashi Oya in the big blind. Mokri called.
On the K♠Q♦6♠ flop, Oya fired out a bet of 350,000. Mokri quickly called.
The 5♦ rolled off on the turn, and after some thought, Oya slid out a bet of 525,000. Mokri again called speedily.
The 5♠ river completed the board, and Oya took his time to count his remaining stack, before putting out a bet of 800,000, leaving himself around 120,000 behind.
Mokri pondered the spot for a moment, before moving all in. Oya sighed loudly and sat back in his chair. He gave it about 30 seconds thought before flicking the remainder of his stack in.
Mokri showed Q♠8♠ for the rivered flush to take the pot, while Oya had Q♥J♠ for second pair queens. Mokri has a big chip advantage heading into three-handed play.
The tournament director also informed the players the clock will now be reduced to 30-minute levels.
