Masatoshi Akasaka
Lester Edoc continued to pressure the table with another push out of the cutoff seat. Masatoshi Akasaka took a stand and committed all of his chips on the big blind, placing himself at risk of falling on the bubble.
Masatoshi Akasaka: K ♥️ J ♠️
Lester Edoc: A ♣️ 8 ♥️
When they showed, Akasaka needed some paint to color the board to stay in the running however the runout produced A ♦️ Q ♣️ 2 ♠️ 7 ♥️ A ♥️ ending his hunt on the stone cold bubble.

Marc Rivera
At the other table, Marc Rivera three-bet all in and was called by Hiroki Karatsu. Rivera turned over A ♠️ J ♦️ nd Karatsu had similar with A ♦️ J ♠️.
A couple of diamonds landed on the flop 2 ♦️ Q ♥️ 5 ♦️ and another on the turn 10 ♦️ giving Rivera a sweat. As Karatsu called out for the bling, the river came 10 ♥️ to keep Rivera from joining Akasaka to the rail.
