Wonchul Bae opened to 500 from middle position and was called by Junwoo Lee. On the small blind, Batzolboo Soronzonbold then three-bet to 2,700, prompting Enkhjarga Myagmarsuren on the big blind to fold. Bae made the call, while Lee bowed out, leaving Bae and Soronzonbold to battle it out heads-up.
The dealer revealed a flop of 7♣ 9♠ 9♣ , and Soronzonbold led out with a 2,000 bet, which Bae called.
On the 5♦ turn, Soronzonbold kept the pressure high, firing 5,500. Bae, appearing somewhat hesitant, decided to make the call.
When the river brought the 2♠ , Soronzonbold went all-in for 35,000, putting Bae to a tough decision with only about 18,000 chips left if he called. After a few tense moments, Bae committed to the call.
Wonchul Bae: K♥ 7♥
Batzolboo Soronzonbold: A♦ 8♠
Bae's flopped pair of sevens held, and with Soronzonbold saying, "Good call," Bae scooped the pot.
