Billy Alfonso opened for 25,000 and Kazuki Okamoto wanted in and raised it up to 75,000. Out of the small blind Toshimitsu Kobashigawa shoved and Alfonso made the call while Okamoto stepped aside. 

Toshimitsu Kobashigawa: A ♦️ Q ♠️

Billy Alfonso: Q ♥️ Q ♣️

The board quickly dropped an ace for Kobashigawa to overtake and with the runout completing J ♦️ A ♥️ 4 ♥️ 5 ♠️ 6 ♠️, he survived against the hot-handed chip leader.
