Jeju Open Final

Blinds 10,000/20,000 Ante 20,000

Zhu Jingxuan raised all-in from the button and got big blind Sun Jiafeng to commit his last 270,000.

Zhu Jingxuan: Q♦ T♦

Sun Jianfeng: A♦ 8♦

There was a brief moment of positivity for Sun Jianfeng when both cards were revealed. He was also optimistic about the K♣ 9♠ 6♥ flop. But the J♠ on the turn crushed his hopes and left him drawing dead. The 3♣ on the river just a formality. Zhu Jingxuan builds his stack to 750,000 while Sun Jianfeng leaves the table at 14th place, taking home a payout of KRW 2,440,000 (~USD 1,850), the equivalent of a VVIP package to a Coldplay concert with a band photo-op and a signed shirt.

Jeju Open Final

Blinds 8,000/16,000 Ante 16,000

Biao Ding called the all-in of Ding Yangyi for a pre-flop all-in showdown.

Biao Ding: A♣ 7♣

Ding Yangyi: K♥ K♦

Board: A♠ 8♣ 2♠ 7♠ A♥

One ace would've sufficed, but two just adds more conviction. Ding Yangyi made a great push, but the poker gods weren't too kind. Biao Ding's stack rockets to 950,000. Yangyi finishes at 15th overall and earns a payout of KRW 2,440,000 (~USD 1,850), which can buy him a case of sophisticated 18 year old single malts.

In another hand, Sun Jiangfeng made the inital min-raise from the hi-jack, and agreed to the three-bet 80,000 of Biao Ding at the button to see a flop A♣ 4♥ 4♠ . Jiangfeng check-calls the 50,000 bet of Biao Ding to rveal the 5♦ turn. Both players check to reveal the A♠ at the river. Jiangfeng leads out with 94,000, but snap folds when Biao Ding pushes all-in.

Biao Ding pushes his stack past the million mark with 1,100,000 in chips. Sun Jianfeng is depleted to 275,000.
