Yosh Nakano Eliminated

Yosh Nakano - busto
Yosh Nakano - busto
On the first of the five hands at Table 1, Yosh Nakano opened all in for 63,000. He was called in two spots: by button Antony Lellouche, and by big blind Kelly Kim. On a {7-Clubs} {5-Hearts} {2-Hearts} flop, Kim checked and then open-folded {A-?} {K-?} to an all-in bet from Lellouche. That left Lellouche alone with Nakano for the main pot.

Nakano: {A-Hearts} {5-Clubs}
Lellouche: {J-Clubs} {J-Hearts}

Nakano's pair of fives needed to improve to avoid elimination. But when the {J-Spades} hit the turn, Nakano was drawing dead. He's out.
