Magsakay Beats Jung's Queens

Level 21: 15,000 / 30,000 ante: 30,000

Seungmook Jung

After the action was folded to the blinds, Seungmook Jung, in the small blind, raised to 70,000, only for Vamerdino Magsakay to up the ante by betting 450,000 from the big blind, leaving himself with just 40,000.

Jung, looking at Magsakay, said, "I think you have a very good hand," to which Magsakay replied affirmatively. Immediately after the exchange, Jung announced all-in, shoving his remaining stack of 250,000. Magsakay snap-called.

Seungmook Jung: Q♥ Q♠

Vamerdino Magsakay: A♣ K♠

The dealer flopped 2♥ A♠ 9♥ , and with the ace on the board, Jung started packing up while still watching the deal. The turn 3♥ and the river 9♦ didn’t change the outcome, so Jung headed to the payout counter.
