Three men intently playing poker at a casino table with chips and cards.

Kouichi Baba

One more push is all it took to send Kouichi Baba out of the field. With 175,000 behind, he went all in with A ♣️ 3 ♦️ and still couldn't catch a break with Kang Chien Shao ahead holding A ♦️ Q ♦️

The board further ensured Shao's win, running 6 ♠️ 10 ♦️ J ♠️ 7 ♦️ 4 ♦️ for the flush.
