On to the last day...
Asashoryu beat Koto'oshu and Hakuho beat Wakanosato, so it comes down to the last day.
On day 15, Asashoryu faces Tochiazuma (now 11-3, and needs to beat Asashoryu to continue his quest for Yokozuna promotion next tournament).
Hakuho goes up against Kaio, who beat Chiyotaikai to even his record at 7-7. That means Kaio needs to beat Hakuho to stay at Ozeki (and not be forced to retire). Kaio's managed to win 3 of his last 4, so maybe he actually has enough to win it.
If both Asashoryu and Hakuho win, then they take each other on in a tiebreaker match (a chance for Asashoryu to get revenge for his 1 loss this tournament).
