Deepstack (KRW 100M GTD) Final

Blinds 25,000/50,000 Ante 50,000

Nicholas Michael made a 175,000 raise from UTG+1 and was re-raised all-in for 440,000 by Ngooi Chin Hua from the big blind. Nicholas Michael made the call for a showdown.

Ngooi Chin Hua was slightly pleased when they flipped over their cards. Ngooi Hua's K♦ 7♦ slightly dominated the K♣ 4♣ of Nicholas Michael.

But then... the flop of 2♦ 4♥ Q♠ gave Nicholas Michael the lead and Hua with only 3 outs to stay alive. The turn 5♥ and river A♥ was of no help and Ngooi Chin Hua took a gracious exit at 12th place, pocketing a decent payout of KRW 3,590,000 (~USD 2,700), which can be used for a weekend getaway in Thailand.

Li Pei is the new chip leader after the break with 1,140,000 chips, and is the only millionaire so far. Of the 48 ITM players who came back to play for the Day 2 Final, only 23 still remain standing. The chip leader at the start of the day was Pham Bao, but a few big hits has reduced his stack to just around 300,000. Such is poker. The chip lead may help a player get deep in the tournament, but it doesn't necessarily guarantee a championship. There's still much poker to play, and maybe Pham Bao will bounce back.

Meanwhile, joining Li Pei at the top is Chua Chen Shen, who is second in chips with 925,000. Wang Chongyang and Nicholas Michael are tied at the third spot with 770,000.
