Korean Battle

Level 7: 400 / 800 ante: 800

The action started with Pham Bao opening from middle-position and Jeong Injae three-betting to 3,600. Minjae Kwon cold-called from the small-blind and the original opener also called.

The flop came down J♣ 6♥ 3♣ . It got checked to Injae who fired out 6,000. Only Kwon called. The 9♣ completed the flush and Injae put maximum pressure by putting him all-in for for his remaining 13,000. Kwon quickly called.

Minjae Kwon A♣ T♣

Jeong Injae: T♦ 9♦

Easy double-up for Kwon who is back to over starting stack. The aggressive Injae has to take a significant hit to his stack.

Kwon's Hooks Stand

Level 8: 500 / 1,000 ante: 1,000

Minjae Kwon raised to 2,100 from under the gun and Pham Truong Thu defended from the big blind.

The flop rolled off 8♣ Q♠ 6♦ , and Thu check-called after Kwon continued with a bet of 2,000. The board-pairing 6♥ fell on the turn, where Thu checked it to his opponent again, and Kwon led out for 7,500. Thu stuck around.

The river came 5♥ , and Thu changed his strategy and bet 5,000 this time, which Kwon dropped in a call. Thu tabled two pair with 8♥ 7♦ , but it was not enough to beat Kwon's J♣ J♦ , earning him a sizable pot.

Chunhui Ji Gets One Through Against Minjae Kwon

Level 7: 400 / 800 ante: 800

It folded around to Minjae Kwon on the button who opened to 1,700. The Chinese player, Chunhui Ji, seated next to him, three-bet to 6,500 and Kwon called.

On a board of K♣ 4♠ 2♦ Ji continued with a 3,700 continuation bet. Kwon, who started the hand with around 35,000, called.

The turn brought the 9♦ and Ji did not slow down, instead he made it 11,000 which was enough pressure for Kwon to fold his hand.
