Chia Hsiang Ko

Kojima Takamasa had lost most of his chips in a previous hand after re-entering and then called all-in blind from the small blind for around 40,000 when Chia Hsiang Ko had open-jammed.

Kojima Takamasa: 10 ♦️ 5 ♥️

Chia Hsiang Ko: A ♥️ J ♦️

The K ♥️ 10 ♥️ 8 ♥️ Q ♠️ 9 ♦️ board left Takamasa drawing dead on the turn and Ko said "thank you boss".

Kozo Yamada was then all-in after the J ♦️ 6 ♠️ 3 ♠️ flop with his J ♠️ 9 ♠️ for top pair and the flush draw. Ko had the Q ♣️ Q ♥️ overpair, which held on 5 ♣️ turn and 5 ♥️ river.

Flight D is up to 154 entries with 111 players remaining.
