Sumin Leem extracted two streets of value from Kai Liu on a board of K♣ 3♥ 3♣ 6♥ 4♣ before they checked the river. Leem tabled the A♠ K♠ for kings and treys to win the pot, joining the current chip leaders.

Four ways to the 9♣ 8♦ 4♥ flop, Ki Taek Kwon was all-in for 24,000 from under the gun. Kai Liu moved all-in over the top from the button and both bigger stacked blinds folded.

Kwon's K♣ K♥ had some sweat as Liu had a piece of the board with the 9♠ 6♠ . However, the 2♣ turn and J♦ river no threat for Kwon to double.

Following a min-raise and two callers, Woon Gyu Choi three-bet to 4,000 and Kai Liu was the only caller. On the K♣ J♠ 4♥ flop, Choi bet 1,700 to earn a call and bet another 2,200 on the T♥ turn. Liu now raised to 4,700 for his opponent to call.

Choi checked the K♦ river and reluctantly paid off a bet worth 6,500 by Liu, then mucked his Q♦ Q♠ when Liu showed A♥ Q♣ for broadway.
