While Billy Baxter's elimination was going on at the other table, another hand was in progress. Naoya Kihara raised from under the gun, Andrew Kelsall three-bet on the button, and Kihara called. Kihara drew two and Kelsall one. Kihara then check-called a bet from Kelsall.

Kihara drew two on the second draw and Kelsall one. Kihara checked, Kelsall bet 100,000 from a total stack of 110,000, and Kihara called.

Both players drew one going into the final draw, prompting an "Ooh!" from Kihara.

Kihara bet 10,000 dark, and Kelsall checked his cards. He then called, revealing an eight perfect 8x5x4x3x2x. Kihara showed 7x6x5x2x and, with a sense of showmanship, slowly peeled the final card.

"I need a three or four," he said as he carefully revealed his final card. "That can't be a three or four," he quickly said, as it was clear the card was a paint. He flipped the Qx and was left with 130,000.

Naoya Kihara raised as first to act. Koji Fujimoto was in the small blind and three-bet, seeing Kihara toss in calling chips. After each player had drawn two cards, Fujimoto continued betting, and Kihara called with just 70,000 back.

Fujimoto then took one card on the second draw, while Kihara still needed two. Fujimoto put his opponent all in afterward, with Kihara quickly calling. On the final draw, Fujimoto drew one more card, prompting Kihara to remain pat.

Naoya Kihara: 10x9x7x6x3x All in
Koji Fujimoto: 7x5x4x2x

Fujimoto caught paint with the Kx, resulting in Kihara doubling up.

"That's how you win two bracelets," Andrew Kelsall noted. "All-in, win. All-in, win."
