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

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.

Qingjun Wu Doubles Through Geunpil Go

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

A reraise to 7,500 was out in front of Geunpil Go and he then faced the all-in of Qingjun Wu for 28,000 total. Go reluctantly called with his ace-jack but the A K 2 5 6 board was never a threat for Wu.

Qingjun Wu Takes a Hit Against EZ

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

On the tail end of a A J 8 3 J board, EZ in the big blind made it 19,000 to go into a pot of around 50,000. Qingjun Wu on the button tank-called and mucked when the player from Japan showed his 3 3 for a turned set and rivered full house.

Min Hyeong Lee Barrels for the Win

Level 7: 400 / 800 ante: 800

Qingjun Wu raised to 1,800 from under the gun and Min Hyeong Lee three-bet to 5,000 in the next seat. The big blind called and Wu made it three ways to the K 4 3 flop, where it checked to Lee. His continuation bet of 4,000 was check-called once as Wu folded.


On the A turn, the action checked to Lee and he bet another 14,000 to eventually force a very reluctant fold.

However, soon after, Kwon made up for the minor setback when he knocked out Qingjun Wu to bring the field down to 17 hopefuls.
