Masato Yokosawa

Two players are all-in preflop including Masato Yokosawa and Fabian Spielmann, the latter of which is the shortest stack on 231,000. They are both looked up by Joshua Mccully and the following cards are revealed.

Fabian Spielmann: Heart QHeart J
Masato Yokosawa: Spade KDiamond K
Joshua Mccully: Club 9Diamond 9

A small crowd gathers around the table and Spielmann loudly asks for a king on the Diamond ASpade 10Spade 2 flop as he picks up a gutshot straight draw. Nothing changes with the Club 4 turn but instead, Mccully spikes the Spade 9 river and scores the double knockout without any outburst of emotions.

With the elimination of Yokosawa, it leaves just Tony Dunst in contention as sole remaining former WPT Main Tour champion.

Joshua Mccully – 2,010,000 (168 bb)
Masato Yokosawa – Eliminated in 63rd Place ($7,892
Fabian Spielmann – Eliminated in 64th Place ($7,892)
