Main Event

Tae Wook Kang raised to 7,000 and was called by Yoonseok Choi as well as Chunjong Park, the latter of which defended the big blind. Only Park check-called for 11,000 on the 7♥ 2♥ 2♦ flop when Kang continued, then checked the A♦ turn. Kang made it 16,000 to go and won the pot.

Down to just 11,000, Yejin Kim jammed from under the gun. She was called by Yoonseok Choi on the button and Sumin Leem in the big blind. Both active players checked down the T♦ T♥ 8♥ 7♥ 5♠ board and Choi exposed Q♠ 9♠ . Leem had 6♥ 4♣ for a straight and the A♦ 6♣ of Kim were no good.

Moments after Mayuko Takata had lost her last couple of big blinds, a far bigger pot unfolded one table over. On the A♥ 8♦ 7♦ 7♥ turn, Yoonseok Choi bet 20,000 in the small blind. Dongmin Kim then jammed for 42,500 on the button and Choi reluctantly called.

Kim's K♥ 4♥ needed another heart as Choi was ahead with the A♣ 2♣ . Instead, the river brought the A♠ and that sent Kim to the rail, too.

On the river of a 5♥ 4♠ 4♥ T♣ J♦ board, a medium-sized stack got it in with the K♠ T♠ for tens up and was quickly looked up by the current big stack Yoonseok Choi. The latter showed A♥ J♥ for superior two pair and earned another very healthy pot.
