Sungwon Seo three-bet against the table chip leader Tsukasa Endo and then bet the T♠ 9♥ 7♠ flop for 20,000, Endo folded.

Shortly after that, EZ defended against Endo and check-called for 6,000 on the A♥ T♥ 6♣ flop. They checked the 4♣ turn and T♠ river for EZ to win the pot with A♦ 5♥ for aces and tens.

Left short after a double for Sungwon Seo, Yoonkyu Choi was all-in for the last 6,000. He earned calls from Shingo Ito and Qingjun Wu, who checked down the entire board of T♥ 7♠ 6♦ 8♣ Q♦ .

Choi tabled 9♦ 2♦ for a straight, which beat the K♥ Q♣ and K♠ Q♠ of his opponents.

On the tail end of a heads-up pot to the 8♣ 7♠ 7♦ Q♠ 3♣ river, Soobin Chun bet 11,000. He only had to get through one of the early chip leaders and Sungwon Seo indeed folded. For Chun, it is the second bullet for Day 1c after the first attempt was of rather torrid nature.

It didn't take long for Soobin Chun to get his chips into the middle and the one collecting the rest of it was Hwangbae Kim. On a board of K♣ 6♥ 2♦ 10d 3♦ , the K♥ T♣ of Kim was best versus 9♥ 6♣ and Chun quickly left the tournament area.

Soobin Chun called a three-bet and then bet 2,500 on the 8♥ 5♣ 2♦ flop when checked to by his opponent "Gosuke". The player from Japan bet the 5♦ turn for 5,000 and the A♠ river for 13,600, keeping one T-5,000 chip behind.

Chun called but mucked when he was shown 8♠ 8♣ for a full house. He then lost another pot post flop and dropped down even further.

There are now nine players registered and among them is also Soobin Chun, who had jumped into Day 1a but didn't make it all the way to the top 12 finishers. He will aim to do better today, as does everyone else. Eight players are seated on one table while the latest arrival currently waits for further entries to start his journey on Day 1c.

Towards the end of the last level. Sumin Leem had flopped a set of fours with 4♥ 4♦ on a board of A♣ 4♠ 3♣ 7♥ J♣ to double through the A♠ J♠ of Yitaek Choi and knock out a shorter stack holding J♥ 3♥ . Leem earned another knockout now while Dongmin Kim has taken over the lead from Jong Hoon Lee.

In a three-way pot to the 8♠ 5♥ 2♣ flop, Soobin Chun bet 7,000 and forced two folds.

A few hands later, he took on another opponent in the final hand of the level. They were on the K♣ T♥ 3♣ 4♣ Q♦ river on which Chun bet 5,000. His opponent called but mucked in disgust when he was shown J♦ 9♦ for a rivered gutshot.
