Naoya Kihara Eliminated in 12th Place ( $25,757)
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 35,000 ante
David Lin raised from the hijack to 55,000 before Naoya Kihara three-bet all in to 260,000. Jeremy Ausmus in the big blind then elected to call, and Lin folded leaving the two players heads up.
Kihara drew one card and Ausmus stood pat.
Naoya Kihara: 7x6x5x3x 
Jeremy Ausmus: 10x9x6x7x3x
Start-of-day chip leader Kihara would need to draw better than Ausmus' 10-nine, but when he peeled an Ax he was eliminated in 12th place.
