Hishinuma was at risk needing help, and found it after the flop paired her jack.

The turn was a great sight for Hishinuma, as it kept her in the lead, and just as she was looking good to score a double, the dealer dropped the on the river, ending her tournament.

Justin Lapka - 405,000
Hikaru Hishinuma - Eliminated
