Ozeki Kirishima (12-2) edged closer to his second yusho and the start of a tsuna run, he never looked phased as he bested a clearly nervous Atamifuji (11-3)in a close belt battle to take sole lead heading into the final day.

Kotonowaka (10-4) held nerve slapping down Shonanoumi (7-7).

Hoshoryu (9-5) threw down Midorifuji (9-5) beautifully.

After 10 straight losses head to head (!), Daiesho (9-5) got the jump on BFF Takakeisho (9-5).
