Main Event

Hyunsoo Kim defended his big blind against Longhao Shen and check-called the Q♣ 9♥ 7♠ flop for 10,000. After the 2♦ turn, they both checked and Kim checked again the T♠ on the river. Shen bet 17,000 and Kim reluctantly paid it off to expose Q♥ 6♦ for top pair once Shen revealed his K♥ Q♦ for the superior kicker.

Heads-up to the 7♣ 6♠ 5♥ A♦ 7♦ river, chip leader Jaeseok Sim checked in the hijack. Manwoo Park bet 8,000 on the button and Sim tank-called. There was no showdown, as Park mucked to forfeit the pot.

There are currently 27 players remaining and the action slowed down significantly.

Man Woo Park faced one limper and then raised to 8,500, which forced out the limper. He then opened to 3,000 soon after and Jong Ju Park made it a massive 15,000 to go. The fold followed and the three-bettor showed K♥ K♣ before collecting the pot.

With 2,100 three ways on the Q♦ J♥ T♣ flop invested, the 4♦ turn was checked. Won Beom Seo also checked the 3♦ river and another player did so, too. Jong Ju Park now bet 9,500 and his two opponents folded for Park to show A♦ 8♦ for the rivered nut flush.
