Yerim Park Chops her Way to Profit
Yerim Park limped in and so did another player. Gwangsub Lee then raised to 2,200 and earned two callers. On the Q♦ 9♥ 3♣ flop, it checked to Lee and his bet of 2,500 was called two ways. The K♥ turn was checked and the K♣ river saw Park bet 3,000. The third player in the hand called, Lee folded.
Park's T♠ 9♦ chopped the pot versus J♦ 9♠ as she upped her stack in showdown.
