Kazuhiko Yotsushika

With a substantial pot already brewing and the board reading {Q-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}, Takayuki Iwamoto checked from the big blind and Yotsushika bet 45,000 from the hijack. Xingbiao Zhu folded from the cutoff and Iwamoto called.

The river was the {8-Clubs} and Iwamoto checked. Yotsushika bet 100,000, sending Iwamoto into the tank. He tossed the dealer one time bank chip and ultimately called. Yotsushika tabled {K-Diamonds}{8-Spades} for a pair of eights and it was good enough to win the pot.

Sparrow Cheung got his stack in against Xingbiao Zhu, who had him well covered, and the cards were already on their backs with the board reading {A-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}. Cheung held {2-}{2-} for bottom set but was in bad shape against Zhu, who held {4-Spades}{4-Clubs} for middle set. The {5-Clubs} turn and {K-Clubs} river changed nothing and Zhu took the pot to end Cheung's run in this tournament.
