Urgently Needed Double for Jae Young Jeon
On the J♠ T♠ 2♦ Q♦ turn, Jae Young Jeon got her chips in against Yoonsang Cho and had the best of it with K♠ 9♠ for the king-high straight and flush draw. Cho was in rough shape with the 9♦ 8♠ for the bottom end of the straight, unable to capture a miracle chop on the 8♣ river.

Everybody Loves a Split Pot
Joo Hee "Tina" Oh raised to 4,500 and Yoonsang Cho three-bet to 14,000. The shove by Oh brought a snap-call thereafter and she feared the worst. However, both players showed ace-king and the T♦ 9♠ 6♦ 6♥ T♣ board provided only a temporary sweat.
