Level 24: 15,000 / 30,000 ante: 30,000

Lee Seokjun - 13th place - PhP860,000 (~US$14,720)

The action is folded to the blinds where Lee Seokjun of Korea completes his SB and Filipino William Ysmael checks his option in the BB.

The flop is4d 4♠ 6♠ as Lee checks. Ysmael leads out for 30,000. Lee calls. The turn is the J♣ and Lee checks anew. The Filipino adds more sauce and fires 60,000. This time, Lee check-raises to 125,000. Ysmael makes the call. The river is the A♦ . The Korean goes into the tank and consumes one Time Bank card before going all-in for his last 225,000. It is now Ysmael's turn to think things over as he burns two Time Bank cards before making the decision to call.

Lee shows K♦ Q♠ for a missed gutshot while Ysmael is in relief that his 9♥ 6♣ held against all that pressure.
