Day 1B
Sang Hyuk Lee Crashes Out in Big Pot Against Sungmin Ha
Sungmin HaThe hero not long ago with a big double against Hyukjin Kwon, Sang Hyuk Lee has been eliminated soon after! On a board of 8♥ 5♠ 4♥ 7♦ Q♥ , his 8♣ 8♦ had flopped top set but the A♥ K♥ of Sungmin Ha rivered the nut flush.
It remains unclear when exactly the chips went in, but Lee's more than 70,000 by then were easily covered by Ha. In somewhat remarkable fashion, he is not the chip leader as Hyukjin Kwon on the same table has even more!

Sang Hyuk Lee Dents Hyukjin Kwon
On a completed board of A♦ Q♦ 2♣ 6♠ 9♣ , Sang Hyuk Lee got his stack of 40,100 into the middle against chip leader Hyukjin Kwon. Both players had hit top pair and then made two pair on different streets, as Lee's A♥ 9♠ scored the double versus A♠ 6♦ .
Long-time chip leader Kwon still has a very healthy stack at his disposal despite this setback.
