APPT National ($1,000)

Sungheon Hong and David Yojiro Baba stare down a flop T♣ Q♣ 8♠ with 6000 already in the pot. Acting first, Hong leads out 3000 and Baba calls. The turn 9♦ sees Hong fire another 3000 bet and once again Baba calls to take them to the river 3♥ . Hong slows down with a check, Baba switches up and bets 2500, and after a brief pause, Hong calls only to muck when Baba reveals A♦ J♦ ace-high.

Sungheon Hong and Nuno Da Silva Alves called a raise to 800 from Jung Su Kim to see a flop of A♣ 7♦ 4♥ . Kim fired a 1100 c-bet, prompting Alves to fold while Hong made the call.

On the 7♣ turn, Kim tapped the brakes with a check, and Hong took the option to bet 2,500. Kim called, leading to the 5♥ river. Kim then led out for 3,500, but Hong came over the top with a raise to 11,200. The pressure was enough for Kim to release his hand, and Hong dragged in the pot.
