Elmer Kalaquian - 5th place

After Kazuki Okamoto min-raised on the button position, Elmer Kalaquian jammed on the small blind for 3,800,000 in total. Okamoto called and when they showed, Kalaquian was flipping for his tournament life.

Elmer Kalaquian: A ♠️ 10 ♥️

Kazuki Okamoto: 7 ♣️ 7 ♥️ 

With the flop running Q ♦️ 9 ♣️ J ♦️, Kalaquian gained more outs but the turn 6 ♠️ and river 2 ♣️ were a miss to end his title chase in 5th place.
