Woon Gyu Choi was all-in for just 22,000 and Wongyu Seo also got his shorter stack into the middle, both of which were looked up by Pan Geunseop. The latter was ahead preflop and dodged some outs of Choi throughout the T♥ 5♥ 3♦ Q♥ 2♣ board to knock out two opponents.

Out of the big blind, Pan Geunseop led the Q♥ Q♠ 8♦ 6♦ turn for 7,000 and earned a caller in Gwongjin Park. He then increased the sizing to 20,000 on the 7♥ river and Park quickly folded.

There are still 19 players remaining on three tables. Once the field is down to 18 and balances to two tables, the shot clocks will come into play.

Joining the action on the 8♠ 7♥ 5♣ 3♠ turn, Fukui Ryoma bet 6,500 and Pan Geunseop called in the next seat. They opted to check down the 2♥ on the river and Ryoma showed the K♣ Q♠ while Pan had that beat with the A♠ Q♣ to collect the pot with a smile.

Pan Geunseop raised to 3,500 and earned one caller. Yoo Young Jin then three-bet to 14,000 and was the only one to call the shove. Geunseop was ahead with K♦ K♥ versus A♣ Q♦ and stayed in the lead throughout the 9♠ 9♥ 6♦ T♠ J♠ runout.

He then raise-folded to a three-bet before raising to 3,500 and taking it down post flop. The next raise to 3,500 followed and came with a three-bet to 10,500 to his right. Pan called but check-folded the A♥ 9♣ 3♠ flop once again.
