Three ways to the 9♦ 6♠ 3♠ 7♠ 8♥ river, the action checked to Jeong-Wook Kim on the button and he bet 15,000. Chip leader Jong Hoon Lee called in the small blind and Si-Jin Park reluctantly folded with a smirk on the face.

Kim showed 8♣ 7♣ for two pair but Lee had 5♥ 5♣ for the bottom end of the straight.

Jong Hoon Lee scored a fortunate double-up when he got it in with A♠ 6♠ versus A♣ Q♥ thanks to the Q♦ T♠ 4♠ 8♣ K♠ runout, which gave him a flush. He then knocked out another opponent in an even bigger pot before a short stack bowed out.

Up next, there was an open raise to 1,500 and a call. Jeong-Wook Kim three-bet to 4,000 and Lee made it 12,000 to go. Only Kim called, but folded when Lee fired a hefty bet of 40,000 on the J♣ 9♦ 4♠ flop.

Three ways to the A♥ Q♦ 6♣ 3♣ turn, Jeong-Wook Kim bet 2,500 and was called only by Sungjin Park. Kim checked the J♥ on the river and instantly folded when Park bet 10,000.

With 1,900 in the middle to the 10d 9♦ 4♣ flop, Jeong-Wook Kim bet 2,000 and earned a caller on the button. He then bumped it up to 10,000 on the turn with slightly more than that behind and his opponent tank-folded, showing the A♠ K♥ face-up for everybody to see.
