Shunsuke Imai

Shunsuke Imai was forced all in for his last 8,000 from the big blind and Jung Cha raised to 40,000 from early position. Everyone else folded, setting up a showdown between Imai and Cha.

Shunsuke Imai: Q 2

Jung Cha: A 6

The 3 K J flop looked bleak for Imai after improving Cha to a flush draw, but the T turn gave him some hope after picking up an open-ended straight draw.

It wasn't meant to be, however, as the T river bricked out — eliminating Imai one spot shy of the money, much to the delight of the surviving players.
