Day 1A
Two to the Money on Day 1a
Yoo Young Jin"We are one elimination away from hand-for-hand," the floor staff announced as Chunjong Park had been eliminated shortly after the double knockout. And there was another all-in and call on the other table.
However, Yoo Young Jin had little to worry on a board of Q♦ T♣ 4♥ T♠ 9♥ as his Q♠ T♥ had turned tens full of queens. He doubled through Gwongjin Park with the K♥ J♥ for the king-high straight to jump up on the leaderboard.
After this sudden burst of action, there are only 14 players remaining.
