Hwasoo Finishes Off Erwin Ng
Hwasoo's Recovers With A Straight Flush Double Up
Gun Young KimRare do we see a straight flush and rare do we see it get fully paid. The happy player was Hwasoo who defended his big blind on a raise that was called. The three players saw a flop 8♥ 8♦ 5♦ . Action is checked to cutoff Huang with a 25,000 bet and gets called by Hwasoo. Both players put the brakes on the turn 6♦ then on the river 6♠ , Hwasoo leads out 90,000, Huang puts the pedal to the metal, Hwasoo calls for everything behind and reveals the straight flush to beat the boat.

Andrew Ma Outkicks To Take The Lead
Andrew MaFaced with a raise, Andrew Ma three-bets 65,000 and Hwasoo defends his initial raise. With the board running 4♦ A♦ 9♦ 8♠ 3♥ , Ma bets 32,000, 68,000, and 215,000, Hwasoo check-calls throughout and shows A♣ Q♣ top pair. Ma's A♠ K♥ kicker plays to drag in a big pot and rise to the top of the counts.
