J12w Takanoyama
(2-1) vs J11w Terunofuji (3-0)
Tak went for a footsweep from the start, missed and got Teru behind him. Teru put him out easy after that. Hey, it almost worked Tak. Almost.

J4e Osunaarashi
(2-1) vs J8e Satoyama (2-1)
They had to go twice due to a tie and Sato went straight into a low and useless defensive position. Osuna put him out in a long and boring match.

M13e Endo
(2-1) vs
M16w Tamawashi (3-0)
Endo was pure class here. He got real low as Tama pushed him hard from above. He held on though and pushed Tama right back from under and out.

O2e Kotoshogiku
(3-0) vs S1w Goeido (2-1)
Big upset win for Goeido that may prove useful down the road. He got Koto off balance and Koto had to back up and get pushed out.

K1e Tochiozan
(0-3) vs O1w Kakuryu (3-0)
Big upset win for Tochi here. He got under Kaku and just had a really good angle to push off of and put Kaku out quick. Bad loss for Kaku because he was 3-0 and with Haruma and Kisen taking a loss, he might have been a favorite.

O1e Kisenosato
(2-1) vs M1w
Ikioi (0-3)
Good loss here by Ikoi. He actually almost went over Kisen's head and took him down that way. Kisen, however, slipped out and took the win here.

S1e Myogiryu
(2-1) vs O2w Kotooshu (3-0)
Y1e Hakuho
(3-0) vs M2e Okinoumi (2-1)
Oki almost had this. He turned Hakuho around which is quite weird and almost had him near the end. Unfortunately, Hakuho turned him back around properly and pushed him out. This was a good loss atleast.

M2w Aoiyama
(0-3) vs Y1w Harumafuji (2-1)
Oh boy. When you're getting schooled by Aoiyama, something is wrong. Haruma went in and went for the side throw and Aoiyama smartly just pushed him off. Talk about a totally embarrassing loss for Harumafuji. I fear for this guy after this tournament is said and done.

Thoughts: Hakuho has this wrapped up here as 3 of the Ozeki are in trouble and Harumafuji is doing awful. Harumafuji really has to go on a run right now as the pressure is going to keep mounting. Elsewhere, Endo hung on for a good win and Kakuryu and Kotoshogiku both took semi-crucial losses early.
