Deepstack (KRW 100M GTD) Final

Blinds 40,000/80,000 Ante 80,000

Qiang Xu pushed all-in from under the gun with A♥ 3♦ and Jin Zhou made the call from the cutoff with A♣ J♥. Jin Zhou dominated, and Qiang Xu had that disappointed look. The board ran A♠ 2♦ 6♦, keeping Jin Zhou in command. The turn K♦ brought a smile to Qiang Xu and the river 9♦ beamed that smile from ear to ear. Qiang Xu's one-card flush was a gift from the gods, sending Jin Zhou to the cashier to collect his 10th place payout of KRW 4,080,000 (~USD 3,000), which can be used to pay for some artsy limited edition sneakers.

Deepstack (KRW 100M GTD) Final

Blinds 30,000/60,000 Ante 60,000

The rollercoaster rolls to the very top and then it uses the immediate drop to gain momentum as it rails through the track.

The first drop for Nicholas Michael was when his K♥ Q♦ went up against the 5♥ 5♦ of Yliu Yuan. Yilu Yuan won the coin-toss on a board of 8♦ T♦ 6♠ 6♦ 4♣.

From that bottom with only 5 big blinds left, the only way is up or out. For Nicholas Michael, it was up.

His A♥ 3♥ held up against the K♥ J♥ of Jin Zhou. No one hit anything on the board of 7♥ 5♣ 8♦ Q♦ 7♠, making the ace-high of Nicholas Michael the winner.
