Naoya Morozumi Eliminated in 4th Place ($33,440)
Level 30
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Brian Hastings opened the action with a raise to 450,000 from the cutoff. It folded to the big blind Naoya Morozumi who three-bet all in for 1,200,000, which Hastings called to put him at risk.
Naoya Morozumi: A?8? 
Brian Hastings: Q?J?
Morozumi was ahead with his ace high, but Hastings had to live cards, that both came on the 2?Q?J? flop, meaning Morozumi would need running cards to stay in the tournament. The 7? on the turn did bring outs for Morozumi in the form of a flush draw, but the A? river meant Hastings still had the best hand with two pair queens and jacks and Morozumi was sent to the payout desk in fourth place.
