Mystery Big Bounty (KRW 200M GTD) Flight D

The rules of a flipout are pretty simple. There are 10 players who get 3 cards each face-up. Meaning, all players can see all the cards. With that information, a player will pick the best two cards and will go all-in against all the other cards. The dealer will deal a the five-card board and whoever has the best hand wins. A little bit of skill and a whole lot of luck.

Some of the lucky ones who won their 10-handed flipouts and get a chance to advance to the Day 2 final with 200,000 chips in tow are:

Jeju Open Final

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

Thoo Ming Ken looked down at his hole cards and was excited enough to push his last 195,000 from the cutoff with J♣ J♥ . Biao Ding made the call at the small blind, revealing Q♥ Q♦ and bringing disappointment to the spirit of Thoo Ming Ken. Biao Ding's Ladies hold on a board of T♣ K♥ K♠ 5♥ 6♦ and grows his stack to 1,550,000. Thoo Ming Ken takes a payout of KRW 3,100,000 (~USD 2,350) for his 10th place finish, which is a pretty good starting capital for a food truck.
