Day 1B
Harim Jeong Eliminated by Hyunki Lee
Harim JeongOne of the most classic flips unfolded with Harim Jeong all-in and at risk with ace-queen suited. Hyunki Lee looked him up with pocket jacks, which turned a set on the 9♠ 4♠ 2♥ J♠ 8♦ board to reduce the field to the last 15 contenders.

Ace on the River Saves Jingon Kim
Jingon Kim piled it in with a suited ace and was up against the pocket pair of Harim Jeong.
The Q♥ 6♠ 2♠ flop and 4♦ turn brought some excitement from everyone at the table already, and the emotions hit a new height when Kim spiked the A♦ on the river to double for 51,000.

Two Double Ups and a Triple Up
Jingon Kim was all-in for 28,000 with A♦ J♣ against the J♥ J♠ of Sungmin Ha. The board ran out A♠ K♦ 9♣ K♣ K♠ and Kim doubled.
One hand later, Hyunjeong Kim jammed for 29,000 from under the gun and Youngjeong Kim did so for 40,000. All others folded and Kim won the flip with A♦ Q♠ versus A♥ K♠ on the 6♥ 2♦ 2♣ 3♣ 6♠ board.
The latter Kim then jammed 11,000 next. Harim Jeong called on the button, as did Kim in the big blind. Both active players checked down the J♣ J♥ 5♦ 6♠ 2♦ board and the micro stack tripled with 5♠ 3♣ - which Kim was it? ;)
