Ryan Tan
Japan's Tatsuki Usami flipped for his tournament life with Q ♠️ Q ♦️ against the ace-king of Ryan Tan. The board ran out 7 ♦️ 4 ♦️ 2 ♠️ 7 ♣️ 3 ♣️ and Usami doubled to leave Tan with a single T-500 chip.
While the hand concluded, David Erquiaga arrived from a broken table with a monster stack. It was also Erquiaga who sent Tan out when the latter got the chip in preflop, Rudy Edenata stuck around from the big blind.
In the end, Edenata check-folded the K ♠️ 6 ♣️ 3 ♠️ 9 ♦️ 7 ♣️ river when Erquiaga over-bet 120,000.
"Five high," Erquiaga jokingly declared but his 5 ♦️ 4 ♦️ was actually the open-ender that got there. Tan's A ♦️ K ♣️ were briefly exposed, too.
By the time the hand concluded, the next level was already underway with now 41 players left.
