Yu Young Jin Runs Riot on Outer Table
Not long ago, Sung Won Seo and Yu Young Jin had been very close in chips but Seo lost two big pots while Jin soared to the undisputed lead on the outer table.
Seo now raised to 40,000 from under the gun and Jin called from the big blind. Jin checked the 9♠ 7♣ 6♥ flop, then called a bet worth 50,000. Both checked it down on the J♣ turn and Q♥ river for Jin to declare "river" and expose his Q♦ 8♥ . That was the winning hand again, as Seo's stack was further depleted.

Sim revealed A♠ 2♠ for the missed nut flush draw that instead hit running trips.

Jong Hoon Lee Eliminated in 13th Place
Jong Hoon LeeThe action started rather innocent with an open raise to 25,000 by Yoo Young Jin from under the gun. Sungwon Seo flat-called and the action folded to Jong Hoon Lee in the small blind. He opted to push all-in for a massive amount and Jin asked for a count.
The shove was for 448,000 and Jin folded, while Seo used one time bank and called.
"Ace king?" other players at the table murmured before the cards were flipped over but Lee shook his head and flashed pocket fives. Seo's jacks improved to a set on the J♠ 4♠ 2♥ flop and the 2♣ turn left Lee drawing dead ahead of the A♠ river as he departed in 13th place.
