Jun Obara Eliminated in 20th Place (€37,800)
Jun Obara was one of the chip leaders at the final three tables but that didn't stop him from going out in 20th place after a massive pot against Diogo Coelho.
Action kicked off with Coelho opening to 60,000 on the button before Obara three-bet to 240,000 from the small blind. Coelho used two time banks before four-betting to 540,000 and Obara called.
Obara checked on the flop of 
and Coelho continued for 460,000. Obara called. Obara checked again on the 
turn and Coelho sized down to 350,000. Obara again called.
Obara checked a third time on the 
river and Coelho moved all in with Obara covered. Obara quickly called with his remaining few hundred thousand and Coelho showed 
for flopped trips against the 
of Obara, who had been flopped nearly dead before getting his chip in on later streets.
"Incredible hand!" commented Toni Kaukua.
Coelho took a massive chip lead as his Japanese opponent left the tournament area.
