The action recommenced with a minor delay from the live stream table setup and on the outer tables in "The Platz", Hee Woong Kim finally showed up after the first break to take his seat.

On table seven, Yoo Young Jin bet a heads-up river of J♦ 9♣ 5♠ 3♣ Q♠ for 35,000. Dongwook Lee called but mucked when he was shown Q♣ J♠ for two pair.

Xu Chen raised into the big blind of table short stack Yun Hye Kim and she reluctantly folded, showing an ace.

Shortly after, Chen took on new table chip leader Dongwook Lee. He bet the A♥ T♣ 8♦ flop for 8,000 and Lee raised to 22,000. The three-bet to 56,000 by Chen followed and Lee used one time bank before folding.

Subin Lim was eliminated when her Q♥ J♥ could not beat the K♥ Q♠ of Sungwon Seo, as both players missed the board and king-high played.

Moments later, Minho Yoo jammed A♣ 5♣ into the A♦ Q♦ of Dongwook Lee. The J♦ 9♥ 4♠ Q♠ T♣ board left Yoo drawing dead on the turn.

Junhyeong Ha got his shorter stack in with A♣ J♥ and could not beat the Q♦ Q♥ of chip leader Sunming Ha.

With an average of more than 30 big blinds and no severe short stacks, the action has slowed down a lot. Hwaejae Jeong won a pot off Dongwook Lee when the latter bet a Q♣ 9♦ 8♣ flop for 13,000. Lee gave it some thought, shook the head and folded.

Harim Jeong raised and called a three-bet as they headed to the A♣ 8♠ 2♦ flop. Jeong checked, Hyunjeong Kim bet 14,000 and Lee called. They checked down the 3♥ turn and 6♣ river for Jeong to win the pot with the A♠ 9♠ .

One table over, Dongwook Lee jammed the river of an A♥ 9♦ 7♦ 6♠ 5♦ board to win a nice pot without showdown, joining the bigger stacks in the later stages of Day 1b.
