Yota Mitsui three-bet to 700,000 from the hijack, Emrah Cakmak made it 1,300,000 on the button, Higgs folded and Mitsui called after quite some thought.
The flop was 
and Mitsui checked. Cakmak took his time before settling on a bet of 1,000,000. This time, it was the Japanese taking his time, and after spending minutes in the tank he opted to lay it down.

Despite having drawn chip leader Emrah Cakmak to his left, Yota Mitsui quickly showed he wasn't afraid to let some chips fly. After a raise to 200,000 on the button, Cakmak three-bet to 740,000 from the small blind.
Instantly, Mitsui four-bet a pile of T-100,000 chips and just as quickly, Cakmak folded.
