Jeremy Eyer opened to 240,000 from the cutoff before Felipe Ramos made it 705,000 from the button. Nozomu Shimizu then four-bet jammed for 1,965,000 from the small blind. Action folded back to Ramos who called.

Nozomu Shimizu: A♦Q♥
Felipe Ramos: A♠10♠

Shimuzu had Ramos dominated, but the latter had a flush draw following the J♠6♠6♦ flop. The 4♥ turn and 3♣ river ensured Shimizu's survival and halted Ramos' dominance.

The flop came 9♠Q♣K♠ and Ramos checked to Shimizu, who bet 130,000.

On the eighth hand of the six-handed final table, Ronald Minnis open-jammed for 1,475,000 from the cutoff, and Nozomu Shimizu shouted "Hadouken!" before calling from the big blind.

Ronald Minnis: A♦2♦
Nozomu Shimizu: A♥10♣

Minnis was dominated and was relying on some backdoor possibilities following the 10♠8♠7♦ flop. However, the Q♠ turn left him drawing dead. The river card was dealt but did not appear on stream.

Jinho Hong: 9♥8♥
Felipe Ramos: A♥3♠

Hong made two pair on the 9♣8♠7♥ flop to become the favorite but the 6♠ turn brought in some chop-outs. The 10♣ river put a straight on the board, and the spoils were shared.
