Ogita Rivers Straight to Crack Kings
Following an open-raise from Juho Ruutari, Daisuke Ogita moved all in from the button for 66,500. Ricardo Caridade then moved all in over the top for 86,000 from the big blind. Ruutari folded, leaving two players to turn their cards, with Ogita at risk.
Daisuke Ogita: 6♠6♣ 
Ricardo Caridade: K♣K♠
Ogita was in serious trouble and needed to find help as the board ran out 2♠5♦7♥3♥4♥ to give him an unlikely straight on the river. Ogita doubled up his stack and Caridade was left short with around 7,500.
It looked like Caridade would be heading for the exit as he found himself pot committed in the small blind the next hand, but he managed to double his short stack to give himself a chance to chip back up.
Meanwhile, Nikita Kuznetsov has joined the tournament with just a couple of levels left to play on Day 1.
