NAGAWORLD Kickoff ($500)

Before the chips all went in, Hoseong Ha opened from utg+1 for 32,000 and found two players to toss in the call - button Adam Lydford and big blind Salih Kaya. At the flop 7♥ 5♠ 4♠ it is checked to Lydford who bets 50,000. Kaya tanks then shoves 206,000. This was enough to push out Ha while Lydford gave it a short ponder then called.

Both players have strong draws with Kaya's pair ahead. The turn 3♥ gave Lydford the straight but not Kaya still had outs. The river 5♥ wasn't one of them to send Kaya out and ship in a monster pot.

Van Xuan Nguyen has been very active causing his stack to swing. Another winning hand saw him on the button call Salih Kaya's 18,000 raise. At the flop 5♦ Q♣ 6♦ , Kaya's 13,000 continuation bet was met with a 32,000 raise from Nguyen which was good to win the pot.

Within seconds of the starting buzzer, Salih Kaya was dealt K♠ K♦ and Hyungtaek Jo liked his K♥ J♥ . Jo liked his chances and found a shove that sent him quickly packing up on a jack-high board.
