Gary Thompson made it 240,000 to go from the under-the-gun position holding the 8♠8♥ and Takashi Ogura defended the Q♥5♠. The 9♦7♠2♥ flop went check, check, which led to the 3♥ turn. Ogura then opted to bet for 160,000 as Thompson quickly came along.
The board paired with the 9♣ river and Ogura now checked to Thompson, who bet 500,000 to win the pot without any showdown.

Takashi Ogura opened to 350,000 out of the small blind with the rather creative 5♦3♣ and Gary Thompson came along from the big blind with the Q♠3♠. Neither player invested any chips on the Q♣9♥7♠ flop before Ogura then bet the 2♠ turn for 430,000, picking up a call from Thompson.
The 10♣ river completed the board and Ogura fired a final bet worth 800,000. Thompson called with a dry smile on the face and took over the lead from his opponent.

Ajitpal Singh: Q♦J♠
Takashi Ogura: 2♥2♦

Takashi Ogura raised the button with the 10♥8♦ and Eng Soon Ewe defended the K♥5♦ out of the big blind.
The Q♠9♥7♣ flop gave Ogura the open-ended straight draw and Ewe check-folded to his continuation bet.
Ewe raised to 300,000 next with the 9♦3♦ in the small blind, picking up a call by Ogura who defended the 10♦8♣. The Q♠10♠9♣ flop gave both players a piece and Ewe's bet of 200,000 was called. They checked the A♦ turn and Ewe bet another 600,000 on the 4♣ river.
Ogura sighed and mulled it over to then make the crying call, winning the pot as he pulled further ahead.
