No EZ Game for Kiwook Kang

Level 12: 1,000 / 2,500 ante: 2,500

Kiwook Kang

In a three-bet pot to the 9♣ 5♠ 2♥ flop, EZ jammed and Kiwook Kang reluctantly called all-in for the 40,500 he had behind. Both players turned over pocket pairs and Kang was in rough shape.

The 6♠ turn increased his outs with an additional gutshot but the Q♣ river sent Kang packing.

Hyunsoo Kim No More

Level 12: 1,000 / 2,500 ante: 2,500

Hyunsoo Kim got his short stack into the middle with K♦ 3♦ and was up against the 5♦ 5♣ of Manwoo Park. The T♠ 7♦ 3♥ T♦ turn was a tease but the 4♥ river bricked.

One table over, Japan's "EZ" doubled with ace-queen against the king-queen of Kiwook Kang, while Vivi from Japan also doubled his short stack on another table.

Shingo Ito Eliminated by Sungwon Seo

Level 11: 1,000 / 2,000 ante: 2,000

Soobin Chun had raised to 4,000 just before the blinds went up and Shingo Ito then jammed for 21,500 in the cutoff. Sungwon Seo reshoved on the button for 125,500 and Kiwook Kang in the small blind asked for a count, sigh-folded. Chun also folded and Ito had a mountain to climb with his queen-jack versus aces.

The board ran out K♥ 6♣ 4♥ 4♠ J♠ and that spelled the end for Ito.

Another Two Seat Open in Quick Succession

Level 10: 1,000 / 1,500 ante: 1,500

A short stack was all-in after the K♥ 7♠ 5♥ 8♥ turn and tabled the 8♦ 7♦ in showdown, up against Kiwook Kang with the 7♥ 3♥ for a made flush. The player at risk had some outs to a full house but the 3♣ river was a blank.

Shortly after, the table then lost Jingon Kim to Tsukasa Endo, who jumped up the leaderboard.

Kiwook Kang Wins Without Showdown

Level 7: 400 / 800 ante: 800

Tetsuya Fujiwara raised to 1,800 from under the gun and Kiwook Kang called in the cutoff. The Q♣ T♦ 8♠ flop and 3♣ turn were checked. Fujiwara bet the K♥ river for 2,600 and Kang called, then didn't need to show any cards to win the pot as Fujiwara mucked to forfeit his ambitions.

More Early Casualties on Day 1c

Level 5: 300 / 500 ante: 500

Taehong ha was eliminated and Yohan Trens followed suit, then walked over to Jaejoon Yang to spill the beans. Yang was involved in a heads-up pot to the J♥ 6♦ 2♦ 6♣ 5♦ river on which he called a bet of 2,500 by Kiwook Kang.

The latter turned over Ace-Nine but Yang won the pot with the 8♣ 8♥ .

"Queens against five-seven, he turned a straight," Trens told Yang after the hand.

Tetsuya Fujiwara Wins Big Three-Way Clash

Level 5: 300 / 500 ante: 500

One player was already all-in after the J♣ J♥ 5♥ flop to receive two calls and the 3♦ turn then brought the shove by Tetsuya Fujiwara, which Kiwook Kang called with the covering stack.

The at-risk player showed Q♥ 7♥ for a flush draw, up against Fujiwara with Q♣ J♦ and Kang who held the J♠ T♥ for the same trips but weaker kicker. The river was the 6♦ and Fujiwara won the main and side pot.

Gyungmin Lee Wins Another Showdown Pot

Level 1: 100 / 100 ante: 100

Three ways to the Q♦ J♥ 7♦ K♠ turn, the action checked to Gyungmin Lee on the button and he bet 1,500. Only Jin Wook Lee in the big blind called and they checked the Q♣ on the river. One Lee showed the A♦ 6♦ for the busted nut flush draw but the early momentum belonged to the other with the T♦ 9♥ for the bottom end of the straight.
