Main Event

Sungmin Ha had re-entered and doubled his stack with a hero call against Jaejoon Yang when his Q♥ 6♣ had the superior kicker on the 9♥ 6♠ 4♠ 5♦ turn. The river was the J♣ and Ha doubled.

Right after that on new blinds, chip leader Hyukjin Kwon raised to 3,700 and Hyun Ho Cho called all-in for 3,200 with the 9♦ 8♦ . Kwon only had 9♣ 7♠ and Cho prevailed on the 4♥ 4♣ 2♣ 5♠ 8♥ board.

New on the table is Nana Nakamura, who took a short break after her third place in the High Roller.

Whenever there appears to be a larger pot brewing over on table five, it is Hyukjin Kwon applying pressure. The latest hand was no different as he jammed the A♣ K♦ 9♦ 6♦ 5♦ river into Hyun Ho Cho. Almost 40,000 were in the middle and Cho as well as Kwon had similar stack sizes. The former eventually slid his cards into the muck and Kwon collected the pot once more, again without needing to show the cards.

Five players eventually emerged to kick things off with the clock running and the initial blinds of 100-100 with a big blind ante of 100 will soon go up. Among the early entrants are YouTuber Jaejoon Yang and Hyun Ho Cho. More names are to follow as soon as the action picks up.
