Ori Kossonogi shoved all in for 879,000 and Kibum Park also shoved all in for his remaining 735,000.

Ori Kossonogi A♣ K♦

Kibum Park K♥ K♣

The runout swiftly came Q♣ 3♣ A♦ Q♥ T♥, improving Kossonogi to a higher pair of aces and sending Park to the rail. We are now in the bubble!

The action was picked up on the turn with a board showing K♥ Q♥ T♠ 8♥ and around 220,000 chips in the middle. Kibum Park checked the action from the small blind to Kai Hung Hu, from the big blind, who led out for 80,000 only to be faced with a raise to 200,000 from Park. Eventually, Hu folded and conceded the pot.

Yeongseon Son raised to 35,000 on the button and received two callers from the blinds, Hidenari Tomita and Kibum Park.

Three players saw a flop come T♦ T♠ Q♣ and all checked through to see an 8♦ fall on the turn, where Tomita checked the action to Park, who led out for 40,000, forcing both his opponents to fold.

Kibum Park opened from under the gun to 12,000 and received two callers – Hsuan Cheng Lai from the hijack and Ko Chia Hsiang from the big blind.

A flop ran out A♣ T♦ 6♥, and Hsiang checked to Park, who continued with a bet of 12,000. Only Hsiang dropped in a call to the K♥ turn, where Hsiang check-folded after Park sent a chunky bet of 42,000.
