David Hu raised to 600,000 from the button and Yusuke Tanaka called from the big blind to see the 6♥3♠4♣ flop.

Tanaka jammed for around 600,000 more and Hu checked his cards then put in the call to send both players to a runout with Tanaka at risk.

Tanaka was in pretty good shape with two cards to come and the 9♦ on the turn didn’t change that but when the 2♥ hit the river, completing the wheel for Hu, Tanaka was sent to the rail in fifth place for $40,119.
