Sumin Leem extracted two streets of value from Kai Liu on a board of K♣ 3♥ 3♣ 6♥ 4♣ before they checked the river. Leem tabled the A♠ K♠ for kings and treys to win the pot, joining the current chip leaders.

Down to just 11,000, Yejin Kim jammed from under the gun. She was called by Yoonseok Choi on the button and Sumin Leem in the big blind. Both active players checked down the T♦ T♥ 8♥ 7♥ 5♠ board and Choi exposed Q♠ 9♠ . Leem had 6♥ 4♣ for a straight and the A♦ 6♣ of Kim were no good.

Within two hands, Yohan Trends has left his opponents from South Korea wondering whether or not he had bluffed right after the field reached the last 27 players on Day 1a. In a min-raised pot to the J♠ 4♥ 3♦ he check-called for 4,500 when Dongmin Kim bet and Sumin Leem called.

Trens led the 4♣ turn for 14,000 and both folded.

Kim then opened to 4,000 and called a three-bet to 14,000 by Trens. The French player continued for 10,000 on the 4♠ 3♦ 3♣ flop to earn a call, then jammed the 6♠ turn. Kim sigh-folded the A♦ and was shown the A♣ by Trens.
