Day 1A
Hwasoo's Recovers With A Straight Flush Double Up

Rare 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.
