Aleksei Bessarb: J ♣️ J ♦️
Masatoshi Akasaka: A ♥️ A ♠️
Bessarb was covered and was given hope at the flop J ♥️ 7 ♥️ 9 ♠️ with his two-outer spiked. However, the turn was A ♣️ to quickly burn his set. No miracle card came on the river, instead the 4 ♠️ to end his Main Event run while Akasaka dragged in a big pot to match his big smile.
