Naoya Kihara Eliminated in 9th Place ($46,575)
Level 26
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Bryce Yockey opened to 200,000 from early position and Farid Jattin three-bet to 625,000 from the hijack. Naoya Kihara four-bet shoved for 2,300,000 from the cutoff, forcing a fold from Yockey while Jattin made the call to put Kihara at risk.
Naoya Kihara: A?A?Q?3? 
Farid Jattin: A?Q?10?3?
Kihara was ahead with his aces but Jattin picked up the nut-flush draw on the K?9?7? flop and then drilled the flush on the 4? turn, leaving Kihara drawing dead. After the K? river was dealt Kihara made his exit from the tournament area while Jattin dragged in a sizable pot.
