Main Event

Two shorter stacks get their chips into the middle and they are looked up by Yitaek Choi. One of them is Sungjin Park with the 8♥ 8♣ while the second player at risk tables the T♣ T♦ . They are up against Choi's big slick with A♥ K♦ and the 6♦ 5♣ 3♠ K♣ A♠ runout delivers both the king and ace.

Japan's Yoshio Yamamura never recovered from the earlier setback and saw his stack vanish, while Sungjin Park also toppled to slightly more than ten blinds after three-bet folding off a short stack.

In the meanwhile, Si-Jin Park has been eliminated and re-entered to start his second bullet of Day 1a with 50 big blinds.

Three ways to the A♥ Q♦ 6♣ 3♣ turn, Jeong-Wook Kim bet 2,500 and was called only by Sungjin Park. Kim checked the J♥ on the river and instantly folded when Park bet 10,000.
