Philippines National Cup (12,000 PHP)

Nino Mercado opened to 25,000 from under the gun, and Jin Woo Choi three-bet to 80,000 from middle position. Shion Ogawa then shoved all in for around 150,000 on the button, which only Ogawa called.

Jin Woo Choi: A♥ Q♥

Shion Ogawa: A♦ K♠

The flop rolled off 2♥ J♠ Q♦ , giving Choi a pair of queens and Ogawa a straight draw. Unfortunately for Ogawa, the board didn’t cooperate as the dry runout of 7♦ 6♦ meant the pot went in Choi’s direction.

The action was picked up on the turn with a board of K♣ A♦ Q♠ 3♣ , and Jin Woo Choi had shoved all in for around 310,000 from the small blind, sending Heejun Kim from the hijack into the tank. After around 1 minute, Kim elected to fold.

Choi was friendly enough to show A♥ A♣ for a flopped set while collecting the sizable pot.
