Matsuda bombs Lee Youngjin out of pot

With some newly acquired ammunition, Kim Youngjun of Korea attempts to wage war by raising from the CO to 22,000. However, Japan's John Matsuda bought out some heavy artillery of his own as he makes a 3-bet to 55,000 from the D. Kim decides to call.
The flop comes T♥ J♦ 2♦ as Kim checks. Matsuda sends an ICBM towards his Korean opponent in the form of a CBet to 35,000. Kim opts to surrender.

Li Xinjing inadvertently doubles up Lee Youngjun

Lee Youngjun of Korea sent his remaining 110,000 to the middle and the action gets folded around to the SB of Li Xinjing of China who puts in one chip as if to complete his SB.
He was surprised to learn that the Korean had made a shove and that by flicking in one chip it became tantamount to a one chip call. Li was bound.

Day 1B
Moses Saquing Building Chip Stack Towers

Moses Saquing at UTG and seatmate Youngjun Lee at UTG+1 were flirting with raises until they finally agreed to put up 21,000 each to see a flop of 3♠ 5♠ K♣ . Saquing bet out 5,500 and was called by Lee to see a J♦ on the turn. Saquing slowed down with a check and called the 13,000 bet by Lee to see a 4♥ on the river. Saquing checked in the hopes that Lee would bet, but Lee checked behind for a show-cards moment. Saquing turned over K♥ K♦ for a set of kings. Lee chucked his cards to the muck.
