Atamifuji vs Kotoyusho They decided Atamifuji won, although he stepped out. Maybe they had their reasons.
Tochimaru vs Chiyoarashi Very intense pushy-pushy bout.
Shit. Azumaryu beat Enho. No 4/4 for him.
Nishikifuji doing good again. Denied Kotokuzan 10th victory.
Kotoshoho nice win, 11-3.
Yago too 11-3. Tomorrow will decide who gets the yusho.
Bushozan captured Midorifuji with clenching his arms. Why Bushozan doesn't pushy-pushy? Midori win by pulling him with his arm. Very nice.

Ishiura will close a good tournament. He managed to get out of Kotoeko's clench. He was in a tight spot there, but he won.
Too bad for Oho. He still can close with winning balance if tomorrow he performs well.
Terutsuyosh' is done. Heh, the audience "wow"ed when he jumped back up to the dohyo.
Hahh! Tobizaru managed to turn back. Although he lost in the end.
Ura stepped out. Before got thrown. Got out twice. I wonder if he noticed his leg slid out. I guess he had to feel the ring.
Mitakeumi vs Takarafuji. Ehhhh. This wasn't a good bout. As if Takarafuji gave it to him - he has a winning balance anyway. He could definitely stop before stepping out. Kinda suspicious. People were very quiet. But 12-2.
Kotonowaka one more win 11-3. Exceptional compared to himself.
Hoshoryu vs Shodai. Torinaoshi-desu. Which was first? Head or knee. Second time Hoshoryu did not allow himself to be hugged. Good change. In pace too.
And Abi won!!! Wow. He could force his style on Teru until he lost his balance. His legs weren't stable. 11-3! 
So now Mitakeumi is in the lead, and Teru, Abi, and Kotonowaka is behind with 11-3. Tomorrow Teru will face Mitakeumi. And Abi Kotonowaka. And there might be playoff to decide if the scores are equal. I think Teru can beat Mitakeumi, their style is closer, and if he can hug him and grab his panty, that's good chance to win. And Abi definitely will defeat Kotonowaka. I have no doubt.

Yeah, in November Teru forced his style on Abi. Now tables turned.
