The second last day of the tournament.

So far:

• Sekiwake (3rd highest rank-division) wrestler, Kakuryu leads with one loss, and could be the first Japanese Sekiwake-ranked wrestler to win a tournament, and the first Japanese person to win a tournament in at least four or more years.
• Top-ranked favourite Hakuho is in trouble, with two losses.

Today:

• Homasho defeats Georgian Gagamaru by head-butt, side-step, and pull down.
• 37yo veteran Kyokutenho defeats Tochiozan by pull down
• Aminishiki defeats Wakakoru by push out
• In an exciting battle that looked like it could go either way, Kisenosato (aka Blinky) eventually defeats Estonian Baruto who was thrust into the crowd. Baruto now has to re-start his quest to become a top-ranked Yokuzuna.
• Aran works hard to eventually defeats Kotoshogiku by belt-lift, belly-to-belly, and push out
• Japanese Kakuryu struggles but eventually narrowly defeats the out-of-form Bulgarian Koto Ooshu, bringing Kakuryu one step closer to winning the tournament.
• Hakuho defeats Harumafuji

The final day tomorrow:

• Kakuryu has 13wins-1loss
• Hakuho has 12wins-2losses
• Kakuryu needs Hakuho to lose to avoid a play-off and to win by regulation.
• It will be an exciting day tomorrow
