Level 1 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

After a series of raises before the flop, Motoyoshi Okamura was at risk for 143,000 against Kazuhiko Yotsushika.

Motoyoshi Okamura: A♦K♦ All in
Kazuhiko Yotsushika: A♠Q♣

Okamura was in great shape until the Q♠J♣6♦ flop hit the felt. Okamura had a gutshot straight draw but the A♣ turn and 2♠ river meant he was the first to be eliminated.

Shortly after, Jay Harwood was seen walking away from another table as he exited the tournament as well.
