After some preflop action, Nozomu Shimizu puts in 13,000 from the hijack, and Valeriy Fokin reraises from the cutoff to 35,500. Shimizu moves all in for 126,000, and Fokin calls all in with just a bit less and shows Diamond KClub K.

Shimizu turns over Spade ASpade 5, and Fokin needs his kings to hold to stay alive.

The board comes Heart QDiamond 6Heart 2Diamond 9Diamond A, and Shimizu spikes an ace on the river to win the pot and eliminate Fokin.
