Tharit Nanthana: Q♥ Q♦

Junseok Oh: 5♠ 5♣

The flop came down 6♥ 3♦ 7♥ , giving Oh a gutshot straight draw and putting Nanthana's queens at risk.

Dongyeol Choi opened to 55,000 on the button and received a call from Tharit Nanthana in the small blind. However, Pham Ngoc Bao wasn’t having it and raised to 200,000. Choi called, and Nanthana folded, setting up a heads-up match.

The flop came down A♥ 6♦ J♣ , and Bao led out for 130,000. Choi called. On the turn, 9♣ , Bao fired again, this time for 400,000, and Choi made another call.

The river was J♥ , and Bao, unsure of Choi’s hand, checked. Choi took the opportunity to go all-in for around 800,000. Bao, clearly perplexed by the move, decided to muck his hand.

Choi gave Bao some relief by revealing one card — A♦ , prompting Bao to ask him to show the other card. Choi simply mucked his second card, before saying, "Aces."
