Bubble round still at hand with 15 players remaining and one bust needed to end the day.
While Lester Edoc was exploiting the blinds with nonstop shoves, at the other table, Evgenii Chzhen opened 120,000 and got a game going with big blind Hiroki Karatsu defending.
At the flop 6 ♥️ Q ♣️ 4 ♠️, Karatsu check-called 60,000 and another 155,000 on the turn A ♥️. At the river 8 ♠️, Karatsu open-checked again, Chzhen decided not to barrel another and checked back. Karatsu turned over A ♣️ Q ♠️ top two pair to claim the pot.
