Sungmin Ha Shines on Day 1b of the Main Event; Nana Nakamura Wins Second Title

Level 16: 3,000 / 6,000 ante: 6,000

Day 1b and new overall chip leader Sungmin Ha

Two of the four starting days for the inaugural Super Cup Seoul Main Event have been completed in the COEX Convention & Exhibition Center. After 77 entries on Day 1a, the second flight attracted another 66 entries to boost the overall field size to 143 entries. When all wrapped up in the late evening, only ten players bagged up and a new overall chip leader has been crowned.

Sungmin Ha turned his starting stack of 30,000 into 541,000, firmly ahead of his nearest two followers Hyukjin Kwon (305,000) and Shizi Xiao (258,000). Dongwook Lee was the only other player to advance with an above-average stack of 227,000 in this flight while Isabelle ambassador Joo Hee "Tina" Oh made it through with 179,000.

Oh was responsible for bursting the bubble when she claimed the remaining chips of Hyunjeong Kim with three active players checking it down. Alan "King Lun" Lau, arguably one of the most notable players in today's field, was among the callers and bagged up the second-shortest stack of 65,000 on Day 1b a few minutes later.

Team Isabelle saw the departures of Yuri Murikami and Jae Young Jeon, Ji Eun Park also bowed out alongside Dabin King for the ladies in the field.

For GGPoker ambassador Nana Nakamura, it was a remarkable day at the tables filled with a roller coaster of emotions. She sneaked into the money as the short stack in Event #8 High Roller and bowed out in third place for KRW 8 Million.

The largest piece of the KRW 36.8 Million prize money was split between two contenders from South Korea in Ji Hwan Kim and Dongmin Kim. They agreed to a deal in heads-up play before battling for nearly an hour for the extra cash prize set aside. Ultimately, only one Kim could pose for the winner shot.

Final Result High Roller

1st Place: Dongmin Kim (South Korea) - KRW 16,400,000

2nd Place: Ji Hwan Kim (South Korea) KRW 12,400,000

3rd Place: Nana Nakamura (Japan) KRW 8,000,000

Nakamura then took a break before jumping into Day 1b of the Main Event where she could not run up a stack and bowed out soon after the dinner break. However, there was another Side Event to shine with Event #11 Freeze Out.

The tournament attracted 33 entries and a prize pool of KRW 21 Million. Nakamura entered the ten-handed final table near the top of the leaderboard and closed out the title right as the bubble for Day 1b of the Main Event burst. For her second victory during the Super Cup Seoul 2024, she collected the same KRW 8 Million as earlier in the day for the High Roller min-cash.

Nakamura will certainly be back in action tomorrow when the final two starting days of the Main Event take place. Day 1c kicks off at 11 a.m. local time before the turbo heat 1d with 20-minute levels unfolds as of 5 p.m. local time. The Isabelle Ladies Event is also scheduled and has been pushed to a 4 p.m. start.

Level 14: 2,000 / 4,000 ante: 4,000

Jingon Kim

Jingon Kim three-bet an open raise to 35,000 and Sungmin Ha in the big blind then moved all-in with the far superior stack size. It folded back to Kim, he pondered about the next move for a few seconds and called all-in for around 140,000.

Kim groaned when he saw the pocket aces on the other side of the table and could not find any help on the J♣ T♠ 7♦ flop. The A♦ turn increased his outs from two to four, but the Q♣ river was not among them. Ha's lead ballooned further while Kim bowed out in 15th place with ten advancing.

Jae Young Jeon

Youngjong Lee flipped for the last 25,000 with 5♠ 5♥ from the cutoff against the K♦ Q♠ of Sungmin Ha on the button. The Q♣ J♠ 4♦ flop provided the overcard and two blanks followed.

At the same time one seat over, Jae Young Jeon got her micro stack in with T♥ 8♠ against the J♥ 5♥ of Hyukjin Kwon. The A♦ 6♥ 4♣ 4♦ 2♠ board missed both players and the jack was enough for the elimination.

Jingon Kim was all-in for 28,000 with A♦ J♣ against the J♥ J♠ of Sungmin Ha. The board ran out A♠ K♦ 9♣ K♣ K♠ and Kim doubled.

One hand later, Hyunjeong Kim jammed for 29,000 from under the gun and Youngjeong Kim did so for 40,000. All others folded and Kim won the flip with A♦ Q♠ versus A♥ K♠ on the 6♥ 2♦ 2♣ 3♣ 6♠ board.

The latter Kim then jammed 11,000 next. Harim Jeong called on the button, as did Kim in the big blind. Both active players checked down the J♣ J♥ 5♦ 6♠ 2♦ board and the micro stack tripled with 5♠ 3♣ - which Kim was it? ;)

Sang Hyuk Lee Crashes Out in Big Pot Against Sungmin Ha

Level 9: 600 / 1,200 ante: 1,200

Sungmin Ha

The 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!

Level 9: 600 / 1,200 ante: 1,200

The hot run of Sungmin Ha has claimed another victim. Nana Nakamura had jumped in fewer than an hour ago but never got her stack up and running, while Ha arrived and came in like a wrecking ball.

Nakamura's dominated suited ace gained some equity until the 9♠ 8♥ 3♠ J♣ turn with the open-ended straight draw, but the 3♦ river ensured that the kicker played.

Jaejoon Yang jammed it in for around 17 big blinds and was looked up by Sungmin Ha from two seats over.

"Round number two!" he declared in the flip, but was almost silenced on the Q♥ 4♠ 2♦ flop. The 8♠ turn and 2♣ river sent the YouTuber to the rail.

Sungmin Ha had re-entered and doubled his stack with a hero call against Jaejoon Yang when his Q♥ 6♣ had the superior kicker on the 9♥ 6♠ 4♠ 5♦ turn. The river was the J♣ and Ha doubled.

Right after that on new blinds, chip leader Hyukjin Kwon raised to 3,700 and Hyun Ho Cho called all-in for 3,200 with the 9♦ 8♦ . Kwon only had 9♣ 7♠ and Cho prevailed on the 4♥ 4♣ 2♣ 5♠ 8♥ board.

New on the table is Nana Nakamura, who took a short break after her third place in the High Roller.
