Main Event (1,600,000 KRW)

Chua Chen Shen jams 58,000 from the button with A♣ 4♥ and small blind Jia Yuequan wakes up with A♦ K♦ for a call putting Chua at risk. No help for the underdog on 6♣ 2♣ 9♠ 5♠ 5♥ and we are inching one position closer to the 36 player cutoff for Day 1E.

Jia Yuequan kicks us off with a raise to 7,000 from hijack and Jing Xu jams to put Jia all-in for 115,000 who snaps with K♥ K♠ against Jing's A♥ 5♣ . The dealer has the A♣ in the window, followed by 8♥ J♦ 9♥ and a massive relief for Jia when the river hits K♦ for a set and a double.

Jia Yuequan raises to 1,700 from +1 and takes two players to the flop 5♠ 5♥ 4♠ that gets checked around to the turn 9♣ . Big blind Fan Ben leads for 2,100, Jia folds and button Zheng Mingzhi raises to 7,200 which is enough to take it down right there.

Picking up the action on the turn 3♦ 7♣ 5♥ K♠ and a bloated 15,800 pot, Jia Yuequan slides out 7,000 lead that gets called by Jin Bo to complete the board 6♠ where both players elect to check with Jia coming out on top showing A♣ A♥ that has Jin throw it in the muck.
