Bae Makes the Right Decision
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.
Wonchul Bae: K♥ 7♥
Batzolboo Soronzonbold: A♦ 8♠
With a pair on the flop, Bae scooped the pot.

Bae Folds on the River

Wonchul Bae opened the cutoff too 300 and received two callers, Junwoo Lee and Batzolboo Soronzonbold from the blinds.
On the flop of 7♠ 2♣ 9♣ , the blinds checked to Bae, who then bet 500, which only Lee called to see a T♥ hit on the turn. Both players checked through.
A board-pairing T♣ showed on the river, and Lee bet 600 this time, forcing his opponent to muck his hand.
