Nagoya basho day 15!

This day promised to be exciting.
Juryo
Three 10-4 primary candidates for the yusho, Atamifuji, Daiamami, and Tomokaze. But four more with 9-5 also with chance.
Their hopes disappeared when Daiamami won against Shishi (who also reached kachi koshi earlier, 9-5, rising in the ranks). Daiamami won relatively easily. 11-4.
Kitanowaka beat Tomokaze removing one contender from the race. He was quite resolute.
Tohakuryu won with nicely performed henka.
Akua vs. Atamifuji. For Akua this bout meant getting a positive balance. For Atamifuji a chance for yusho. Akua seemed to run out of stream soon then was thrown down to the ground. He expressed his displease by striking the dohyo, among loud feedback from the audience.
Very intense fight between Churanoumi vs Kagayaki. The former won. Good bout.
Sandanme playoff was cool, good bout again. I don't know these guys, they looked relatively young. Wakaikari won.
And the final between Atamifuji and Daiamami. A brief deadlock was decided by a big push by Atamifuji, pushing out far his opponents from the ring, into the crowd.
