David Hu raised to 600,000 from the button and Yusuke Tanaka called from the big blind to see the 634 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.
