Kwok Chun Yip Is A Survivalist

Level 15: 2,000 / 4,000 ante: 4,000

Min Sung Lee pushed around his big stack in a Button vs Big Blind against Kwok Chun Yip. When Yip checked on the flop, Lee pushed a stack to put Yip all-in. Yip folded and looked down at only 3,500 chips.

On the next hand, Yip put is 2,500 big blind, leaving a solitary 1K chip in front of him. Action fell to Jeonghoon Park at the cut-off, who raised to 11,500. When it was Yip's turn, he called his last 1,000 all-in.

Yip turned over a T♣ 2♦ against a very strong A♠ K♥ . The flop came 6♣ 8♠ J♦ with Park's big slick saying ahead. The Q♦ on the turn gave Yip 7 outs and hit one on the river when the 9♦ completed his straight. Yip had his bag in his hand and was all set to leave, but was called back to his seat again.

"Please don't mention my name.," he said to me. I pined in, "You know if you win the whole thing, this is the momemnt where it starts."

A few hands after, Yip raised 15,000 from the cut-off and stole some blinds.

Who knows - that could be the turning point.

Survival Mode

Level 9: 600 / 1,200 ante: 1,200

Desperately short-stacked Kwok Chun Yip raised to 2,400 from the hi-jack with Lester Edoc calling from the big blind with a rather formidable stack. Both players saw a flop of J♣ 6♠ 3♠ . Edoc took his sweet time before checking. With not so many chips to choose from, Yip picked up a 5,000 and put it in. Edoc took a moment to make Yip nervous before folding.
