Hand #86: Lokesh Garg limped the small blind and Kazuki Ikeuchi exercised his option in the big with a raise to 3.8 million. Garg folded.
Hand #87: Joshua Thibodaux raised to 2.7 million under the gun and Ikeuchi called from the small blind. John Gorsuch folded from the big and it was heads-up action to the flop, which both players checked.
The turn saw Ikeuchi bet 4 million and Thibodaux call to see the river. Ikeuchi checked and Thibodaux moved all in for 20.2 million. Ikeuchi thought for a bit before releasing his hand.
Hand #88: Cory Albertson opened for 3.3 million from the hijack and Thibodaux called from the big blind to see a flop. Thibodaux led out for 3.4 million and Albertson responded by raising to 7.7 million. Thibodaux hit the tank and ultimately laid down his hand.
