Filipino pro Jester Intia does not really have a decent stack, but faced with a UTG all-in for 18,000 from Kim Woojin of Korea, he is now faced with a tough decision in a chance to bring Day 1A to the Money Bubble with only 14 players remaining.

He excruciated in his seat for what seemed to be an eternity and finally chooses to call.

The Korean shows 5♠ 8♣ and Intia leaps up to unveil J♣ 6♣. He is ahead but facing live cards.

The run out of 2♦ 2♠ A♥ 2♣ 7♦ had the Filipino safely avoiding any potential landmines on a board filled with low cards to oust Kim and bring the proceedings to the precipice with only one elimination to go.

Folded to Hawng Deokgyeong on the HJ, the Korean raises to 6,000. Then suddenly Kim Woojin 3-bet shoves his dwindling stack of 23,500 and gets called by Jeong Seonghun in the BB. Hwang, the initial raiser, folds.

Kim turned over T♦ T♠ while Jeong was in flip with A♥ J♦ .

The run out becomes harmless for Kim as it goes 2♦ 4♥ 2♣ Q♦ 8♥ .

With the hit, Jeong drops significantly and goes well below the 100,000 mark.
