Hayato Kitajima Eliminated in 6th Place (PHP 873,000)
Level 26
: 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Jessie Leonarez opened to 110,000 and Hayato Kitajima moved all in for 945,000 from one seat over. Aaron Lim asked for a count in the small blind but elected to fold, so did Thomas Lee in the big blind. Leonarez snap-called and immediately pumped his fists to the local rail when seeing the cards of his opponent.
Leonarez:
Kitajima:
The flop was save for the Filipino, but he almost had a heart attack on the after thinking it was the eight. His rail asked for an ace and sure enough the dealer burned and turned the to eliminate Kitajima in 6th place for PHP 873,000.
The Japanese then stayed for a group selfie with his friends and other Japanese media in front of an APPT banner before collecting his payout.
