Ryuta Nakai

Lester Edoc raised the cutoff and Ryuta Nakai shoved almost 1,000,000 from the small blind. After thinking it over, Edoc called.

Ryuta Nakai: A 4

Lester Edoc: A J

Nakai was in trouble of being the first player eliminated, and the T 8 7 flop didn't give him much to work with. Some chop outs appeared on the T turn, but the T river kept the kicker of Edoc in the lead, sending Nakai out in ninth.
