Hastings Lays Claim to Ichinose's Chips
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Kosei Ichinose opened to 16,000 from middle position and then called after Brian Hastings three-bet to 45,000 in the cutoff.
Ichinose got his remaining chips in the middle following the 10♦9♠2♦ flop with Hastings putting him at risk.
Kosei Ichinose: Q♣J♣ 
Brian Hastings: A♦4♦
Ichinose had an open-ended straight draw to go along with two overcards but was still in pretty rough shape against Hastings' ace-high flush draw. The A♠ turn left Ichinose needing to make his straight to survive but the river came 10♣ instead to send the Japanese player to the rail.
