Shoumin Zhang moved all in from the small blind to put Shuichi Akiba all in for his last 26,000 from the big blind. Akiba tanked for some time before convincing himself to call by slamming his stack into the middle.

Shuichi Akiba: K 9

Shoumin Zhang: J 7

Akiba held the lead with his king and remained ahead on the 4 T Q flop.

The A turn gave Zhang outs to both a straight and flush for a real sweat, and the 8 river completed Zhang's flush -- eliminating Akiba in dramatic fashion to set up the stone bubble.
