Jieun Um

Naruyasu Ota raised to 2,500 from the cut-off and when action was folded to Yan Wen Yee on the big blind, he liked his cards enough to re-raise to 10,000 and defend his big blind. Ota surrendered.

In the following hand, action was folded to the blinds with Yee completing the small blind. Jieun Um at the big blind raised to 4,500 to defend her big blind. Yee folded, getting a taste of his own medicine.

Defending the big blind proved to be a crucial key to success.
