Main Event (1,600,000 KRW)

Liu Yifan starts us off with a raise to 500 from the cutoff and Zhou Ran defends big to see the flop 8♠ 4♥ 4♠ that gets checked to the turn A♥ where Liu tests the waters with a 700 bet. Zhou check-calls for the board to complete 5♠ , another check by Zhou has Liu bet 3,000 but gets check-raised to 8,000 by Zhou's flush K♠ 2♠ . Liu calls and throws it in the muck.

A player in utg raises to 300 followed by a three-bet to 1,200 from Lu Wei in CO that takes Zhou Ran and the initial raiser to the flop 4♦ J♣ A♥ . Checked to Wei, 2,100 go over the line and only Ran pays up to see the turn 4♣ where Wei switches to a check. Sensing weakness, Ran puts 5,000 in the middle, which gets called by Wei to complete the board 3♥ . Another check has Zhou Ran commit his remaining 21,100 to his bluff with T♦ 9♦, but Lu Wei finds the call with A♣ Q♠ and the aid of a time bank.
